Dear Parents and Guardians, 

Happy Week 3! 

Checking in with Students about Their Learning

Knowing learners and how they learn often involves asking powerful questions and seeing the classroom through the child's eyes. One way we do this at SSPS is through 'Learning Walks'. On these walks, we get a snapshot of what is happening in the classroom and then ask random children 5 questions.

1. What are you learning? Why?

2. How are you doing?

3. How do you know?

4. How can you improve?

5. Where do you go for help?

There is also a list of questions that parents can ask their children about learning:

1. What did you learn today?

2. How did you do?

3. What did you do if you didn't understand?

4. How can you improve on your learning?

5. What are you most proud of?

I'd encourage you to have a go at asking these questions with your child/ren - their responses may suprise you!

Have a wonderful day

Warm Regards

Nicki Prentice
