Here The Beckies talk with Aggie a student teacher who is studying for her PGCE  for primary education.
She chats about what led her to this route and what the passion is behind her choice to work with children as a primary teacher for 5-11 year olds
Aggie has her foundations in early years working in a free-flow setting and also Managing a 4-2-11  camp that runs in the holidays.
What is it really like to be a young person studying to teach the next generation?
She talks about what makes you come alive and trying different things to ensure that you love what you, testing out your ideas helps you to know what is the right career path for you.
The PGCE route Aggie is on follows a University base and placements in schools leading to teaching the class.  Aggie describes what  the workload  is like  at Uni with honesty and how trying to  stay organised and doing work  little and often really helps.  One of the main things she has found  that has helped  is to be part of  a community of support  with your colleagues on the course and create opportunities to help each other. 
What is it really like being back in a school environment?  Aggie has found that school does not seem to have changed from when she attended and discusses how she would like to create a completely natural environment and how she has taken the children's learning outside. Science outside proved a great hit with the children and their learning was more engaged and less distracted.
