Hi Menk,

Thanks for your advice. So it was only loosely linked to the article then? I thought we would have to answer questions directly based on the article...hmm.

Hell Kimalogic, Yeah i had the written task but it was on the independent learning journal, i guess they have changed the reading.
Just make sure you read everything fully and understand the article. Good luck in your interview and i hope you get through!

Sorry to bring up what has already been mentioned, but i have an interview for the PGCE course next week and i am also struggling with my preperation for the Jenny Moon literacy task.

Could anyone who has already done this task point me in the right direction please - i have read the literature provided multiple times but i am really worried that i have no idea what the question asked might be, and that it will be a complete disaster.

I really wouldnt worry too much about the article, i think i posted what the qquestion was mainly about earlier. They only give you 30mins on the task so they don't expect you to write a fully comprehensive essay. Fro what i remember its about linking how you have used reflection in education and how it has been useful. I made brief reference to the text in my introduction which seemed to do the trick.I would focus more energy on being aware of your educational issue and the group task where they give u a list of stuff to discuss whats most important in the classroom. eg. laughter, interactive white boards, display boards, reading corner etc. Hope this helps you out in some way and hopefully see you in September!

There are 3 different campus' including Tower Hamlets site but I'm not sure whether the QM library is allowed to be used. Another thing to consider QM do not do PGCE's so it's unlikely there will be any books that are relevant to PGCE students.

I am applying to start studying for a degree in primary education with QTS in September and the above university/campus has come up on UCAS.

Ive never heard of this campus before and cannot really find much out about it, other than you can use the Queen Mary University library.

So does anyone have any more information, have applied there, or have studied there?

Thanks a lot

Alex

Hi

I don't know about the Tower Hamlets site itself, but I do know that the University of Cumbria is well respected in teacher training. The main campuses are in the north west (Lancaster and Carlisle), but this university (formally St Martins College) has maintained a base for teacher training in the East End of London for some years. Ofsted rated the London East Consortium accredited by the University of Cumbria as 'outstanding' in Feb 2013 - this has since been re-named the London East Teacher Training Alliance (LETTA) and forms part of the School Direct programme. Cumbria is well qualified in teacher training, so I feel sure that an undergraduate degree in primary education with QTS would be fine also.
