Hi all,
We have been carrying on with developing our 'Learning Powers' over the last couple of weeks. I thought a blog about this would be helpful to explain what's been going on! We are up and running with Class Dojo and this is used throughout every day to promote positive attitudes towards learning in school.
We have introduced the Incredible power of 'Yet'. This is where we add a 'yet' to any sentence where we're saying we can't do something: 'I can't do my coat up.... yet!' This changes children's mindsets to believing that they will be able to do something in the future, if they are willing to work at it.
We've added more qualities to our Learning Power of Resilience. We now have:
Absorption - getting 'In the Zone' with what you are doing and concentrating.
Perseverance - Trying again with something. Not only when you fail but also to make something better than it already is.
Managing your distractions - trying to block out the distractions around you.
We use this vocabulary with children at school so please go ahead and use it at home too! It is a fantastic way to get children to have power over their own learning. This is a gradual process and will take time to fully establish itself upon children's thinking.
