Dear Parents and Carers,

As mentioned in an earlier newsletter, St Saviour's Primary is working hard on developing a language of learning throughout the school.  

The learning dispositions are very much becoming part of our daily language at St Saviour's.  Our students and staff are seeing themselves as learners and calling themselves learners.  The learner at St Saviour's Primary understands the process of learning and knows that it's okay to struggle with something new.  Our learners are beginning to have real clarity around what they are learning and are beginning to seek and provide feeback.

As parents, you too can help to foster this language of learning.  Here are some questions that you might like to ask your child at home.

 Tell me about something you learned at school today
 Was there anything you found really tricky? What strategies did you use to help you in your learning?
 Tell me one thing you learned at school today and I’ll tellyou one thing I learned at work.
 How were you challenged in your learning today?
 What are you learning in Art /PE/Numeracy/reading/writing etc?
 What are you looking forward to at school tomorrow?
 Did you make any mistakes at school today? Tell me what you learned from them.
 What challenged you most today?
 What was the nicest thing you did for someone else today?
 Do you have any questions that your teacher might be able to answer tomorrow?
 What are your next steps on your learning journey in numeracy/science etc?
