EYFS and Key Stage 1 & 2 Teaching Assistant
The course was very effective. The structure and modules were very clear with lots of examples and exercises given. I highly recommend it to everyone no matter how busy your schedule is.
EYFS and Key Stage 1 & 2 Teaching Assistant
I thoroughly enjoyed this course as it gave me an insight of what it is like to work in KS1 and KS2. As I work with children in Early Years, this course has given me more knowledge on how I can develop my work further in Early Years as well as gaining knowledge of working with older children in schools. With the help of this course, I hope I can put my knowledge into practice.
Thank you!!!
