What are the NELI Whole Class sessions like and how are they structured?

NELI Whole Class sessions follow a similar structure to the NELI sessions, with each including an introduction (3 minutes), a section on narrative or vocabulary (15 minutes) and a plenary (2 minutes). We recommend schools deliver three 20-minute Whole Class sessions per week.

NELI Whole Class closely follows the content of NELI, using the same six topic areas. It provides a bank of activities designed to be delivered by the teacher, with the freedom and flexibility to choose the most appropriate activities in each session.
