Primary Years Programme

Langley Park Primary Academy aim to produce life long learners and to ensure the children feel ready for each stage of their learning. This is encouraged daily through the Learner Profile Attributes which help the children develop the attributes they need to be well rounded individuals. The Learner Profile Attributes are at the heart of our teaching and learning. There are ten learner profile attributes altogether. Each learner profile focuses on an attribute to develop and demonstrate the importance for being internationally-minded.

Children have a range of opportunities to develop, demonstrate and reinforce attributes of the learner profile in the daily life of the learning community. For example, these opportunities arise:

  • as part of the school curriculum: through the trans-disciplinary units of inquiry and through subject-specific investigations

  • through interactions in a variety of learning spaces: in the library, music room, and through social interactions - break and lunch, sport and interest groups, after school activities during field trips.

  • through school events - assemblies, drama productions and sports days.

Learner Profile Attributes

This week's learner profile focuses are:

Knowledgeable

I am knowledgeable if I:

  • have learnt lots of new things/

  • can tell you what I have learnt.

  • can show you what I have learnt.

  • can solve problems using what I have learnt.

Communicator

I am a communicator if I:

  • talk about my ideas.

  • can express myself.

  • can speak in more than one language.

  • can communicate in many different ways.

Thinker

I am a thinker if I:

  • am thoughtful.

  • try to solve problems.

  • try to make good decisions.

  • think about things.

  • learn from my mistakes.

At Home

When you ask your child what they have done at school today, do you always get the same response of 'I can't remember'? Why not try this approach:

  • How have you been knowledgeable today?

  • Tell me about something that you have learnt in your inquiry today.

  • What different ways have you communicated your learning today?
