    Hi,

    After years out of college, I have finally got my first teaching job! (2nd Class Maternity). I will be doing my probation (dip) during this time. I'm just wondering if anyone has ideas on prep I could do during the summer? I have no idea of the class standard, class size etc. But want to be as prepared as possible! All thoughts and ideas appreciated.

    If it's 2nd class primary in a most national schools that'd involve a fair bit of 1st communion prep so maybe talk to some people whose kids did communion recently or even if necessary, familiarise yourself with the mass. A friend of mine in primary teaching didn't know that all the responses had changed and was badly caught out!!
    Best of luck with it - you never forget your first proper class!
