Metacognition

Date: 17th Feb 2022 @ 1:06pm

We have had a wonderful week learning about Metacognition in Class 7!

Class 7 have had an incredible start to Curriculum Week! We have enjoyed discussing Metacognition and have thought about all the different ways we can include it in our learning. Meditation has been one of our favourite activities.

We have spent part of our mornings creating our very own affirmation books. We have enjoyed thinking about what will help us to progress in our learning. We have discussed the comfort, stretch and panic zones of learning and will use our affirmation books to support us!

We have been practiced the different Kagan structures that we have been using over the year. Our favourite structures are rally robin and round robin. To make it more interesting the teacher will ask a child what another child has shared with them.

On Wednesday we spent the day planning, monitoring and evaluating our own Egyptian necklaces. We thought about what we already knew about Egyptian necklaces, what we needed to learn and what resources we would need. We then began to make our necklaces and monitored our learning as we were going!
