1. A day in a
teacher’s life
C.R.A. Río Aragón

2. Hi, I’m Fernando. I work
as a Primary teacher in
Berdun’s School
I live in Jaca, a tiny
city placed 32km
from Berdún. I think
it’s interesting to
show you my life
routines during a
school day…
So let’s start!!!

3. Time to have breakfast and get
ready for a teaching day
08:15

4. I wait until Ibon picks me up. We try to practice “car
sharing” when there is a coincidence of routes. Ibon is
going to Salvatierra, and he passes through Berdun.
9:15
Most of the times we
spend the travel
talking about
Comenius!

5. 10:00
It’s when children
arrive at school.
They are always
very happy and
they start the class
talking about their
experiences from
previous day or
future events
Good
morning
teacher!
Uh!, this
bag is
getting
heavier

6. 12:00 Now it’s time to have a rest in
the playground until 12:30
They have a snack and play while I can
talk with the rest of the teachers and
coordinate all the school’s issues.
It uses to be a good time to
have a sunbath but today it
isn’t the day!

7. 12:30 Religion
specialist enters in my
class. It’s when I can go
downstairs to teach
English for 3, 4 and 5
years. Time for playing!!!
Ugh!, that
muppet
really scares
me!!

8. 13:30
Children finish their morning lessons and its time for having lunch.
Some of them go to their houses and the rest go to a private house
where two women from the village cook the food everyday.
Government only pays the menu for children who come from another
village where there’s no school. They also have free time until 15:00.
I always eat what I cooked the
day before. After lunch, I have
time to prepare classes or
activities.
Hey!, don’t think
naughtily!, no siesta
after lunch….

9. From 15:00to 16:00
From 16:00to 17:00
It’s time for science. They
love it because they first
listen the lessons and they
use to work in any project
related to science
On Tuesdays and Thursdays I
send my pupils with Luis for arts
class and I bring his pupils to my
class for English lessons.

10. See you
tomorrow!!
Too much
homework…17:00 And that’s all!. Pupils come
back to their houses or stay
at school for post-school
activities
I wait until Ibon picks me up and
we come back to Jaca.
I hope you get an idea about how a normal
teaching day is. There are people who think
teaching is always the same, but it isn’t!,
Each day is a different
adventure!
