A day in a teacher’s life

Hi, I’m Fernando. I work as a Primary teacher in Berdun’s School
I live in Jaca, a tiny city placed
32km from Berdún. I think it’s
interesting to show you my life routines during a
school day…
So let’s start!!!
Time to have breakfast and get ready for a teaching day
08:15
I wait until Ibon picks me up. We try to practice “car sharing” when there is a coincidence of
routes. Ibon is going to Salvatierra, and he passes through Berdun.
9:15
Most of the times we spend the travel talking about Comenius!
10:00
It’s when children arrive at school. They are
always very happy and they start the class talking about
their experiences
from previous day or future
events
Good mornin
g teacher
!
Uh!, this bag
is getting heavier
12:00 Now it’s time to have a rest in the playground until 12:30They have a snack and play while I can talk with the rest of the teachers and coordinate all the school’s issues.
It uses to be a good time to have a sunbath
but today it isn’t the day!
12:30 Religion specialist enters in my class. It’s when I can
go downstairs to teach English for 3, 4 and 5
years. Time for playing!!!
Ugh!, that muppet really scares me!!
13:30Children finish their morning lessons and its time for having lunch. Some of them go to their houses and the rest go to a private house where two women from the village cook the
food everyday. Government only pays the menu for children who come from another village where there’s no school. They
also have free time until 15:00.
I always eat what I cooked the day before. After lunch, I have time to prepare classes or
activities.
Hey!, don’t think naughtily!, no
siesta after lunch….
From 15:00 to 16:00
From 16:00 to 17:00
It’s time for science.
They love it because
they first listen the
lessons and they use
to work in any project
related to science
On Tuesdays and Thursdays I
send my pupils with Luis for
arts class and I bring his
pupils to my class for English
lessons.
See you tomorrow!
!
Too much homework
…
17:00 And that’s all!. Pupils come back to their
houses or stay at school for post-school activities
I wait until Ibon picks me up and we come back to Jaca.
I hope you get an idea about how a normal teaching day is. There are
people who think teaching is always the
same, but it isn’t!, Each day is a different adventure!
