Parent workshop: Metacognition
It was wonderful to see so many parents and carers at Mrs Coombs' workshop on Metacognitive strategies. Mrs Coombs shared some ideas around helping children to think through different approaches to solving problems.
Below is a link to Mrs Coombs' slides. There will be further workshops for parents each half term. The workshops will be on a variety of topics including a workshop on Bullying and a workshop on the Zones of Regulation.
