Weekly reflection - 4. Internship phase 1

 Week 4 of My Internship (4 – 8 August 2025)


The fourth week of my internship continued with the rhythm of morning prayers followed by my first-hour classes. On Monday (4 August), I resumed the chapter I had been teaching earlier and was delighted to notice some improvement in students’ responses. A few of them even asked doubts, which gave me happiness as it showed their growing curiosity and confidence. The school also conducted fun games and competitions during the week, and I enjoyed watching the students participate actively. These moments reminded me that school is not just about academics but also about building joy, teamwork, and healthy competition.




On Tuesday (5 August), I once again had my class in the first period, where I managed to complete a good portion of the chapter. This gave me a sense of satisfaction, as progress in lessons allows both teacher and students to stay motivated.






Wednesday (6 August) was significant as the school observed Hiroshima Day. The assembly included announcements and a special speech, followed by a quiz in the afternoon. The commemoration made me realize how important it is to integrate historical events into school life, as it instills values of peace and empathy in young minds while connecting them with the realities of the world.


On Thursday (7 August), I had my second observation, this time by my English teacher. I made use of teaching-learning materials (TLM) to make my lesson more engaging. I felt more confident compared to my earlier observations, and this experience showed me how preparation and creative use of resources can make a noticeable difference in classroom teaching.



Finally, on Friday (8 August), I could not teach as I had to conduct a test paper for the students. However, I took a few substitution periods and used them meaningfully to support the students. This made me reflect on how a teacher’s role often extends beyond their own subject—to being present, guiding, and assisting whenever needed.


Week 4 was thus a rich blend of teaching, observations, activities, and commemorations. It deepened my understanding that a teacher must balance academic progress with values-based education, while also being flexible enough to adapt to the dynamic needs of school life.

  CAMP -  EKATHA. In today’s educational context, teacher education goes beyond classroom learning to focus on the holistic development of future teachers. As part of this vision, the B.Ed. programme includes the Community Living Camp, which offers student-teachers a valuable opportunity to learn through shared living, cooperation, and social engagement. The camp helps nurture essential qualities such as leadership, empathy, self-discipline, teamwork, and social responsibility. In this spirit, a five-day Community Living Camp titled “EKATHA – Arise, Awake and Realize the Power You Hold” was organised from 26th to 30th October 2025.

  Weekly Reflection – Week 7 of My School Internship Week 7 of my internship was filled with active teaching, observations, co-curricular engagements, and meaningful learning experiences. Each day offered opportunities to improve my teaching skills and develop a deeper understanding of classroom dynamics. Day 31 – 15 September 2025 I reached the school by 9:00 a.m. and began my first period in Class IX A, where I continued and concluded the chapter “The Toilet.” The lesson focused on enhancing students’ comprehension and vocabulary skills. Using the textbook and flashcards as my teaching–learning resources, I guided students through reading activities, questioning, and a group task. Their engagement and improved confidence in using new vocabulary made the lesson truly fulfilling. I was glad to see how students related events from the story to their personal experiences. Later, I had substitution periods in Classes VIII A and IX A, during which I provided additional notes related to...
