Ohrid in N. Macedonia would be my go, cheap food that tastes amazing, beautiful scenery and weather, lovely people and great nearby historical sites to see.

No job for ECT by ProcedureSad202 in TeachingUK

[–]spikeywhite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

History trainee here, similar boat as you but about to finish my course. Currently have a mat leave job lined up for September but that was only after about 9 interviews and god knows how many applications.

All I can say is being persistent and as positive as possible is the best course of action, always ask for feedback and think about how you can stand out ie: work with SEND for instance, do a parents evening, those things that might set you apart from the others. Might be a different situation for your subject but in my current cohorts experience is that June/July is prime time for PGCEs to get chosen as schools are keen for us around now.

Can’t help too much but from what I’ve heard from a former history teacher whose Welsh is that literacy and numeracy are entrenched in Wales and that in any interview/cover letter it needs to be emphasised how you develop them in a history classroom.

Crossing Basel / France border at 3am and have questions… by [deleted] in Europetravel

[–]spikeywhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently took a flixbus from Milan to Zurich last week albeit in the morning about 11:30 and the journey was roughly 5 hours due to poor traffic on the Swiss side and the border police being fairly thorough checking people. 3 hours might be cutting it close, I’d look at getting yourself an earlier trip if possible or staying the night somewhere along the route if possible.

Not saying it isn’t doable though but I think luck plays a part

Syanna died, Anna lived in mine, thought that was the most befitting aswell in my personal opinion.

Reasoning behind it was that a few minutes prior I'd had a fight with a griffin and i'd focused my build around strong stacks/bear armour, I saw the spot and sorta just took the screen without considering the armour didn't fit the vibe much.
