Our Year

It is really exciting to reflect on what has been a challenging and exciting year. As the year has progressed, we have been exploring...

• Creating a community of learners. 
• Valuing student voice. 
• Developing dispositions/competencies for lifelong learning. 
• Developing children’s ability to manage themselves and their own learning by giving them choice and flexibility. 
• Ensuring children are challenged by new learning - In the ‘Learning Pit’.
• Developing children’s understanding of themselves as learners. 
• Ensuring our learners continue to strive for excellence across the curriculum. 
• Reducing the amount of whole class teaching so we can effectively differentiate learning. 
• Providing authentic opportunities for critical and creative thinking and problem-solving.
• Using our integrated curriculum model to provide opportunities for children to follow their own lines of inquiry. 
• Developing children’s ability to collaborate. 
• Effectively using digital technologies as a learning tool. 
• Giving children the ‘power to act’ in order to develop their learner agency. 
• Using the flipped classroom approach to support learning and teaching.
