6B2 & 6D2 - Interview at Kirkburton

When doing my teacher training I will be situated in a school 4 days a week from September to June, the school that I have been allocated is Kirkburton CE First School. To make sure this school is suitable for me I had to attend a meeting so that I could  have a look around the school and meet some of the staff including the headteacher.

On the day I was shown around by one of the new teachers there who had recently trained a SCITT student so was familiar with the process and could offer me lots of advice in terms of what to expect and how much one on one time I would receive when doing my training there. Over all the school is very small and only has 150 children which I really liked as it makes the school feel more like a family as everyone knows each other and helps each other out. 

6A2, 6D2 collaborations

Working on collaborations. 

The first one I did was with Danielle Wright who is one of my course mates therefore it made working with her really easy as we are constantly in touch with each other. We worked on the Cherry Tree Bakery brief and came up with a name and logo for their new brand ‘Pure Bliss Bakery’. Working with Danii was really fun as I could be honest with her and knew she wouldn’t take criticism too personally. Danii is also open to trying lots of different things and experimenting and doesn’t care if it doesn’t work first time she is very persistent and worked hard to get our vision to work. I did a lot of the designing such as the logo and illustrations but Danii was really good at bringing these elements together and mocking up our designs in context. 

The second collaboration was with Beth from creative advertising and this wasn’t as successful. Beth didn’t allow us much time for designing and often left us out of important decision. She was very slow at giving us answers and work we required to complete the brief but when it was her asking us for things she expected it instantly. I was really glad to be working with Danii again on this brief as we work well as a team and despite the pressure from Beth we managed to keep each other relaxed and produced some really good work.
