00:00 Welcome to Burton Borough and welcome to our Key Stage 3 Takeover Day.

00:14 I've liked being this week for the day because it's gave me a lot of independence and showed

00:22 me how to be a good role model and helped me try and get a job.

00:26 The teachers have done amazing homework, they've used so many great language, they've done

00:30 all this and phrased it properly.

00:31 It's also kind of cool because you get to see what happens back in the shadows.

00:37 You don't really know what teachers go through in a day until you actually do this.

00:43 I'm very excited, this is my first Takeover Day, I think it's really cool to be in the

00:48 life of a teacher for a day, I think that's a really cool experience to have.

00:53 So Belle, tell us what you've been up to today.

00:56 For the first period I was teaching a bit with the starter activity and I was just telling

01:03 them what to do.

01:04 Then they filled out the starter activity and I had to mark it and choose three to get

01:10 three house points each.

01:12 It gives me like sort of an idea of what I would be doing as a teacher if I wanted to

01:18 be a teacher.

01:19 I'm being a science teacher, it's Key Stage 3 Takeover Day.

01:26 I'm not really that used to it so it can be a bit nerve wracking and I can feel a bit

01:30 nervous.

01:31 I clean out the bearded dragons, feed them, helping out Alfie.

01:38 All the important jobs then?

01:40 Yeah.

01:41 Good man, I hope it all goes well.

01:42 Yeah.
