Oh wise teachers and TA's of the staff room, I'm hoping you can help.
I'm currently in the middle of a primary school placement ahead of my Secondary PGCE (English) in September and I'm so uncomfortable, I feel like I'm actually grimacing! I'm helping as much as I can but feel out of my depth.
I spent some time in a secondary school English dept prior to starting my degree and enjoyed it but was more of an observer.
Do you think as I'm so uncomfortable in primary, I'll be the same in secondary?
Did anyone else have this wobble prior to starting PGCE (assuming you had to do a primary placement)?
I'm aware that I'm quite socially awkward but feel like this comes with being out of my comfort zone as when I work in NHS admin, I was confident.
Can I blag until I feel like I actually belong?

Just because I'm rubbish at primary, will I be rubbish at secondary?
