These are the two main words that come to mind when thinking of when i was an NQT just before i got my first position. It can be a long and daunting road but is also very exciting!
A word of advice is to take care of yourself at this time. You may feel that you don't have enough hours in the day to complete all of the tasks on your list. Or even that you feel guilty when you hear a fellow NQT was up until very late laminating! We have all been there and with hindsight would probably do things differently. Like spending a fortune signing up for all of those websites that you think will save you a lot of time. Most of them are fantastic but my advice would be to start with oneor two. you will probably find that these are all that you need. The two most useful sites that i have found are Teachers Pet and Twinkl . Both of these sites have very high quality resources and can save you a lot of time and effort. There are plenty of other sites that are free of charge e.g. Seomra Ranga and Primary Resources. Now lets get back to trying to looking after yourself! Make sure that you do something for yourself each day whether it be a walk/run, watch favourite programme, read a book or even enjoying a nice meal. If you try to keep a work-life balance then it is less likely that you will burn out!
