Our Year 2 - Year 4 learning spaces are a place for children, parents, and educators to connect. We value the importance of the relationship between home and school, and provide a welcoming environment for all.
Student engagement is what we strive for in our learning space. We want our learners to be curious, be inspired and be brave enough to take risks with their learning. We believe in giving agency to our learners, meaning they play an active role in designing their learning experiences. Learners have two ‘agency hour’ sessions a week, during which time they research topics/passion projects of their choosing. They then become the ‘experts’ and teach their newly acquired knowledge/skills to others in the village.
We aim to develop the learning competencies of Identity; Collaboration; Thinking and Questioning; Managing Self; Connecting and Reflecting; and The Language of Learning.
Building strong Literacy and Numeracy skills remains a central focus of the Year 2 to Year 4 students.
We provide a vibrant, engaging and creative learning space where children can develop at their own pace and in their own learning style.
