Make your own reflective journal (primary)

Your PGCE journey is just beginning, and so is your reflective journal, a key part of your course and a chance to capture your growth, thoughts, and experiences along the way. As a PGCE student, you’ll be expected to engage in regular reflection throughout your training year—and your reflective journal will be a vital tool in helping you do that. 

Join us for a relaxed, creative session where you’ll get the chance to personalise your reflective journal and make it into something meaningful, both as a practical tool and a keepsake from your training year. This session is your opportunity to create and personalise your own journal.

During this session, you’ll: 

• Receive a plain cover physical journal book (or bring your own if you prefer) 

• Use a range of craft materials to decorate and personalise it 

• Explore prompts and ideas to help you get started with reflective writing 

• Connect with your peers in a relaxed, creative environment 

We’ll provide everything you need - from washi tape and markers to prompts and examples - so you can walk away with a journal that’s ready to support you throughout your PGCE year. 

This is a dedicated part of your induction, designed to help you approach reflection as a valuable and enjoyable part of your journey into teaching.
