Some will have different teachers, some will have different TAs, and some will have different children in their class; this is exciting, but it can also be unsettling. Saying goodbye to your teacher and TA is difficult.
We have had our final sessions with the TAs and ECTs that we have been training and working with this year. These sessions have been celebrations of how far they have come as individuals since we all met in the autumn term, but we are also feeling sad that we will not be together in those groups again.
