Would you like to become a scientist in the future? Waste of time yes..because its interesting […] it will be hard work and I dont think that I am not that good in science [No,] because I want to be a barristar more Because you get a headhach You have to teach nought children Experiments are fun! Because it is dangeroes

Furthermore… English: 1 st language for 35% bil. pupils (but not spoken at home) Ofsteds report More Advanced Learners of English as an Additional language in schools and colleges (2003)

Pilot project: January Primary National Strategy (PNS) with Ethnic Minority Achievement (EMA) Unit within the DfES - Aim:increase the confidence and expertise of mainstream primary teachers in meeting the needs of advanced bilingual learners.
