Reflective journal

[Goldie]

Hi,
does anyone have access to samples of reflective journals in a setting or where I can gain access to a template.I've never seen nor written one before!!!

no, I am doing 2405/6 ( second year) on reflection. A good book I would recommend you look at and has extracts is: Reflective Practice in the Early Years, Natalie Canning, Michael Reed, SAGE Publication.

Hi, not sure if this will help you?

Description/brief explanation of the activity – what was the event?
What was I thinking/feeling? How did I do it?
Evaluation - What was good/bad?
Analysis – What sense can be made? What did the children learn? Link to the learning outcomes.
Conclusion – What else could I have done?
Action – What would I do differently next time?
