Teaching Practice

I was placed in Sandringham Primary School, grade 3S for my first teaching round practicum.

• Mrs. Lorraine Sherwin was the class teacher.
  
• There were eleven girls in the class -Maddy, Bella, Poppy, Milly, Livvy, Ellie, Georgie, Laura, Ali, Casey and Emma, and
  
• There were nine boys in the class - Marcus, Noah, Liam, Rees, Joel, Hugo, Thomas, Devan and William.
  

I was fortunate to have a mentor teacher with twenty years of experience. She was a very friendly, caring and loving supervisor, who made my time at the school very fruitful. I was very impressed by the students' knowledge of technology.

There was an Interactive Board in the class and the students used it to mark their attendance. There were two computers and one printer in the class and the children did different activities in turns on the computer and printed out their work, colored them beautifully and hung them in the classroom. The children had play based lessons in Literacy, Numeracy and Science. The children enjoyed their group work and loved being on the guest chair sharing their opinions with the class. The children played, worked, discussed and enjoyed every class. It was interesting to see them in different settings within the class - sometimes on the floor, sometimes on the tables and sometimes on the ground. The children were very adorable and disciplined. I enjoyed my every moment with them. It was surprising to see these students making a photo story about Australia.

The technical knowledge that I had gained from our Technology class helped me a lot in guiding the students with their computer related work. All in all, it was a joyous experience and I thoroughly enjoyed my stint at the Sandringham Primary School.

About Myself

I am Parvathy Baruwal Chhetri Uprety. I come from the tourist town of Pokhara in Nepal. My husband is Durga Prasad Uprety who is also from Nepal. We have two sons, Abishek who is nine years old and Anurag who is four years old. My husband has accompanied me to Australia while our kids are with their grandmother. Both attend school. Abishek studies in class four and Anurag studies in Nursery.
Prior to coming to Australia I was a school teacher at Gandaki Higher SecondaryBoarding School in Pokhara. I taught in classes ranging from Four to Ten. I taught subjects like Accounts, English, Social Studies and Moral science. I taught there for twelve years and had a wonderful time with the students. I have a Bachelors Degree in Commerce from Bharathiyar University, India. I graduated in Commerce in 1993. During my tenure at Gandaki Higher Secondary Boarding School I have had the opportunity to work with expatriates from Australia. This has been one of the reasons why I have chosen to do Masters Degree in Teaching from Australia. I have come here to become a better teacher with the knowledge that I would be able to gain from my Masters Degree and thereby impart the gained knowledge to the students and help them to live meaningfully in different walks of their life in the days to come.
