A Day in the Life of....... Mrs Roberts.

My name is Mrs Roberts and I am a teacher at Blenheim Road Community Primary School in Cwmbran, Wales. I teach a Year 5/6 mixed class in the ‘plaza’ which is a fairly new technology enriched learning environment. In my class I have 23 children and teach all subjects of the school Curriculum. I am responsible for the Mathematics across the Primary School and a teacher Governor.
I enjoy lots of sports. I play Netball for a local Netball team and enjoy visiting the Wales Millennium Stadium to watch Wales playing Rugby with my Husband.
Morning in Blenheim Road:
On a school day I get up at seven o’clock in the morning and have breakfast with my husband. I usually have a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee or glass of fruit juice. Then I have a shower and brush my teeth, dry my hair and get dressed. It takes me about 20 minutes to drive from my house in Newport to school and I arrive at half past eight. I set up the resources ready for my lessons and collect my class from the playground when the bell rings at nine o’clock. My class line up on the playground and walk in to the plaza with me. Some of my children are house captains or vice captains so they hold the gates and doors open for all the other classes and make sure they are locked once everyone is inside. It is a big responsibility so they have to be very sensible children.
When my class enter the plaza they take their shoes off to keep the carpet clean and place them on a rack, they hang their coats on their pegs and sit at their tables. I take the register as my class do Check In. Check In involves the children taking turns to say good morning in Welsh, (Bore da) and asking each other how they feel (Sut wyt ti?). Sometimes the children tell us about what they have done or what they are going to do. I have my turn after the children. They like to hear about how I feel and what I am doing. After Check In my helpers (Helpwr Heddiw) count how many children in my class want hot school dinners, cold school dinners and sandwiches. They take the dinner numbers and my register to the office for me.
Every morning we have a school Assembly. We walk quietly to the school hall and the children sit down facing the head teacher or visiting guest. The other classes do the same and once everyone is in the hall we sing a school song together. Sometimes the Headteacher reads a story and sometimes we have visitors from different churches come in to tell a story from their faith. We say the school prayer together to end our assembly.
After assembly we return to the Plaza and the children go to their Maths groups ready to start the lesson. Maths lessons are fun and we usually start with a game of Number Bang or Bingo to warm up. Sometimes the activities are practical or are written. They may involve making something, solving problems or sometimes we go outside. Sometimes the children use their laptops for completing the activities and I teach the lesson using the interactive whiteboard. When the bell rings at half past ten we get ready for break-time. The children go outside and play on the playground or field to play football, cricket or to chat to their friends. Teachers take turns to do break-time duty. When the bell rings the children line up and I collect them from the playground and we walk in to the plaza together.
After break time, my class get into their English groups ready to start the lesson. I teach them about different genre such as narrative, recounts, procedure, explanation and reports. Sometimes the activities involve group work, sometimes the children work on their own and using their laptops. The lesson usually involves a mixture of reading, writing and speaking and listening activities that is carefully planned to help the children progress forward in their learning. The children also have homework, and take home spellings and reading books to support their learning.
At twelve o’clock the bell rings for Lunch time. My class line up for dinner and walk quietly to the school hall together where they line up to receive their dinner. After eating their dinner the dinner ladies take them out to play on the playground. I spend some of my lunch time marking the children’s work and setting up the resources ready for the afternoon lessons. I eat my dinner in the staff room with the other teachers.
Afternoon in Blenheim Road:
Lunch ends at one o’clock and the children line up when the bell rings. I collect my class from the playground and we walk in to the plaza together. The children sit in their home groups after removing their coats and shoes ready for me to take the afternoon register. After the register my helpers ask the rest of the children questions about the date and weather in Welsh to complete a PowerPoint.
My class do ERIC (everyone reading in class) activities every afternoon. One group will read a book with me, one group will use a laptop to record themselves reading a book, one group will use a laptop to read the news, one group use dictionaries to find definitions and another group read topic books from the library. These activities usually last for 20 - 25 minutes.

These activities usually last for 20 - 25 minutes.
Afternoon lessons vary each day in the Junior Department. On Mondays I take the Year 5 children to the leisure centre for swimming lessons. On Tuesdays I teach Science and this involves independent work and group work to plan and carry out investigations. After an investigation the children create a graph to show their results and write a conclusion. On Wednesdays my class do the Healthy Friends Programme to learn about healthy eating and physical activity, and PSHE (Personal, social and health education) which involves learning about our school values, being a good citizen, and looking after each other. On Thursdays and Fridays my class do Topic which could be Geography, History, Art, Music, ICT, Society or International studies, such as the Comenius activities.
The school day ends at twenty past three so we pack away at three o’clock and I read the children a story while my helpers give out the rewards that the children have earned throughout the day. They get stars on a chart, stickers, and raffle tickets for a prize draw and fruit vouchers for being good students. Then just before it’s time for the children to go home, we say our class prayer together.
When the children have gone I mark their work, evaluate the lessons and start to prepare the resources for the next day. On Tuesdays we have a staff meeting. I usually leave school at five o’clock and drive home to Newport. Sometimes after school I meet up with my colleagues to discuss children and curriculum planning, or to put up displays in the Plaza.
After school:
As soon as I get home my dog is at the door wagging her tail because she knows it’s time for a walk. Her name is Tilly, she’s a 3 year old tri colour collie-cross. I dump my bags, grab her lead and put on my walking boots. We get in the car and drive to Beechwood Park, it’s her favourite place apart from the beach, but that’s for special walks on the weekend. When we get to the park she runs around looking for squirrels and playing with other dogs, she’s so happy.
After our walk we come home and my husband cooks dinner. He’s very good at cooking and I always look forward to finding out what we’re having. We eat our dinner together and talk about our day. My husband works as a ‘School Development Worker’ focusing on physical activity and nutrition in schools. Some evenings my husband goes to play football and I stay in and curl up on the settee with Tilly. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I go to play netball but not at the moment because I’m eight months pregnant. On Fridays we get a take away and relax together.
At the end of the day I brush my teeth and try to go to bed by eleven o’clock, ready for the next busy day in school.
