I was blown away at the huge progress in writing over the previous terms. It was something I could feel as pupils were happier to write, but to see the shift in writing levels, this was just so rewarding. The use of rich vocabulary( many from the list we worked on) was truly evident in the recounts they had written.
3 boys went up 1 level, another 3 boys went up 2 levels and finally 1 boy went up 4 levels.
Full credit to the change in my teaching towards a spaced repetition method focusing on vocabulary building. I will wait anxiously to compare the improvement in vocabulary from the first test in March with the last one in November. Watch this space.
