Learning to Learn Program
As Year 6 students begin their final year at Aitken Creek Primary School, we are thrilled to embark on this journey together. In the first few weeks, we focused on establishing class agreements and iPad usage guidelines, ensuring a positive and productive learning environment.
We explored our school's core values: Respect, Teamwork, Achievement, and Responsibility. Through discussions and activities, we learned how these values guide our actions and interactions, fostering a supportive and collaborative classroom community.
In our learning, we engaged in activities that promoted teamwork and accountability, encouraging us to work cooperatively and take responsibility for our actions. We also discussed the importance of respect and achievement, setting goals and celebrating our successes.
Looking ahead, we plan to delve deeper into our expectations, ensuring that we are well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Starting in Week 3, we will commence our comprehensive learning curriculum, designed to engage us and promote a love for lifelong learning.
