Dear parent/carer,
Next week we are celebrating a love for learning and the benefits of metacognition. We will be teaching students that metacognition is understanding how you think and learn. If you process why you are learning what you are, you will become a more successful lifelong learner. Students will be familiar with the 5 pillars that are signposted in their lessons, as shown below. Teachers use the 5 pillars to help students understand what they are learning and why. This week we are linking the 5 pillars to how they help us to be more metacognitive.
What can parents and carers do to support?
Your child will be completing their 5 pillar passport. Please ask your child for their passport each evening to encourage completion and to have a conversation about what pillar they have focused on, how it helped them to learn and what tomorrow's focus will be.
Kind regards
Mr M Coleman
Vice Principal
