'Hands On' Learning

Following our work on 'Challenge' over the last term, we are moving our attention to the next of our learning values. The first day back will have an assembly launch in the morning and classes will be provided with their 'Hands On' badges and stickers.
The value is divided into 3 areas and each class will have a lightly different focus:

Practical - Year 4 & 1
Hands on, using tools for support and resources


Communication - Year R, 2 & 6
Team work, engagement and collaboration


Creating - Years 3 & 5
Making and doing, Building things and working together to an end product.



We would like each class to explore what their learning behaviour might look like in the classroom. We will be discussing with the children why these learning behaviours are important and how they help us to achieve more. These ideas will then form the focus for the term and we will carry out activities to see how we can provide opportunities to promote these values in the classroom. This is where each class sharing an area with another class will consult over their plans and ideas.
