I have worked as a teaching assistant for 6 years, mainly working in reception and year one. I know what young children are interested in and have plenty of knowledge and training in different areas such as phonics and speech and language. I can use my creative skills to make activities for children that are fun but also help them learn. I worked out on the play ground interacting with the children day in and day out, making good rapports. The children know they can trust me and often come to me and seek me out if they need help or want to talk.
