Example draft - This term Ziggy has addressed the targets set in term 1 and is now developing a creative and stimulating indoor learning environment with the introduction of
learning walls and pupil rewards. He has formed good relationships with all the children in his class, quickly identifying their individual needs and learning styles through thorough and
continuous pupil assessment and evaluation records. He has demonstrated a growing skill of adapting his teaching to meet the range of abilities. Following on from last term, Ziggy has
worked hard to put consistent systems and procedures in place so that the children understand rules and routines in order that they can access resources and work independently. He has
identified his vulnerable children and put strategies in place to support their particular needs in terms of both academic and emotional targets which is a recognisable strength. The
