Hi Everyone,
My name is Susanne and I’ve taught a range of ages over my 28 year career. I’m currently working in SET and my pupils very much enjoy exploring the world around them. Hence my choice of summer course. I welcome new ideas from fellow colleagues.
I’m fascinated with space and attribute my interest to Captain James T. Kirk and Mr. Spok if I’ m completely honest (that’s Star Trek to those of ye youngsters !!!!)
My interesting space fact is that on Mercury a day is twice as long as a year apparently.
I teach in a rural town in County Monaghan and a lot of our pupils come from a farming background.
So when I’m introducing forces I tend to use tractors instead of toy cars and talk about the farmer’s work with a tractor.
And for Junior classes I could use Tractor Ted videos capture the pupils’ interest.
