A skill I need to do better in (L/S/R/W)
Something I feel proud of (about my English)
Pupils may begin the year reflecting in their first language and at a very basic level
(simple words). Encourage pupils to begin to reflect more deeply and using more
English as the year goes on. Some pupils will be more able to do this than others.
Support pupils who may need some help and encourage everyone to complete
their diaries. Ensure you allocate time for this activity in your lesson plan. It
shouldn’t be set for homework.
