thanks for being so encouraging - if I have any queries or panic attacks you'll be one of the first people I'll get in touch with for sane advice! The worst thing is right now having to write all these Masters-level essays, as if it's really necessary to write academic guff in order to become a primary school teacher?
But I'm looking forward to my placement: I'm with a Y1 class in a school pretty much in the centre of London - but we can admire the clouds drifting over the old gasometer behind King's Cross, because there's this open space for all the train tracks, so very few high buildings blocking views of the sky. I've seen really amazing sunsets from the top deck of a bus going past there, the kinds where the sky is streaked with orange and pink and purple clouds.
