Hello, I'm in the midst of my primary PGCE and absolutely loving it so far! I'm about to go into my preliminary placement (Year 2) next week and I've just had a bout of worry about the fact I'm left handed. My writing is ok and legible but definitely cant switch hands or use most right handed scissors. I think I'm concerned about in this clas or future showing right handed pupils how to do practical things eg holding a pencil and writing on whiteboards as I'll be obscuring what I've just written. Has any left handed primary school teacher found this to be an issue and is there any coping strategies?
