B is for Building Lis for Learning Pis for power |
Building Learning Power (or BLP as your children call it) is an exciting new approach to learning which gives your children the skills to become better learners. There are 17 learning muscles that your child is taught. This learning starts in Nursery and is carried on up to year 6. Below are a few of the learning muscles that your child is learning and a brief explanation of what they mean. |
Absorption Being able to lose yourself in learning and to be completely focussed on what you are doing |
Managing Distractions Being given strategies to manage any distractions around you. |
Noticing Looking closely at evidence, artefacts or human behaviours. |
Perseverance Not giving up, being aware that sometimes it takes us longer to understand or get to grips with a topic or skill. |
Questioning Asking questions of yourself and others. Taking your own learning forward by asking meaningful questions. |
Making Links Seeing connections between different areas of learning and bringing them together. Your child may do this in maths by using their knowledge of centimeter’s and Meter’s when answering a word problem |
Distilling Looking at what they have learnt and pulling out the key features and carrying this forward to other areas of learning. |
Interdependence Knowing when it’s appropriate to learn on your own and with others. |
Collaboration Knowing how to work with others successfully. |
EEmpathy and Listening Putting yourself in other peoples shoes.
The children love learning these new big words and the teachers really believe that it will make a huge difference to their learning. If you are unsure on anything to do with BLP please ask your child’s class teacher, who would be happy to help. |
