PGCE Primary - History

Despite being 100 miles away from the history I enjoyed during my degree, making a Greek helmet today was pretty fun. Some people refused to attend the class in some sort of protest, but I think that is ridiculous. Did I learn a great deal? No. Did I get to make something I could possibly use/make again with a class? Yes. Why you would skip a class, so you can have a lie-in, on the last day of term when the work was as light-hearted as this, I'll never understand. Not least due to the attendance requirements to get your QTS status - why damage your attendance record when you could be making a paper helmet lol?!
