It is important to recognise our emotions and to learn how to express them. That is the reason why we thought that one way to do it should be with a personal diary in which the children could write their experiences and their feelings. The idea came inspired by other schools’ work and by the documentary “Children full of life” about the Japanese teacher Toshiro Kanamori.
Year 1 and Year 2 classes have a common class diary where each child can write when she or he needs to. From Year 3, each child has his or her own diary. If they want, they can read to their classmates what they wrote.
