Learning Challenge- Why, How and What

Learning Challenge- Why, How and What

Why do we have a Learning Challenge?

• Foster love of learning - We believe that it is a vital way to foster a sense of inquiry in our children, to develop a curiosity about the world and to take pleasure in learning something new.
• Cultural entitlement - We believe that the our Broadford pupils are entitled to a wide range of cultural opportunities.
• Parental support - We believe that it is important for us to provide guidance for parents on how the children's learning can be extended at home.
• Celebration - We believe that we should be celebrating the work and projects that children choose to do in their own time.
• Challenge - We believe that we should offer enrichment that provides challenge for all learners (basic, advanced and deep understanding)

How does it work?

• Half termly - there is a new challenge each half term 
• Slow learning - because we always have high expectations for their work, it is anticipated that the children will take six weeks to complete the activities.
• Pupil choice - children can choose how they present their learning challenge outcomes to their teacher or class.
