Learning is a Verb!
Learning is a Verb!
Wednesday 27th was an extraordinary day for our Year 5 classes. Led by the internationally published educator and presenter, Eric Frangenheim, the students unravelled the mystery and intrigue of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
The students were led through a series of thinking routines and strategies from noisy round-robins to silent shuffles. They explored their understanding of vocabulary and big picture concepts and they learned to work collaboratively as teams with a range of peers.
The pace was fast and filled with humour as Eric encouraged and extracted deeper thinking from our engaged and actively participating students. It was a brilliant experience for both the students, staff and the number of parents and teachers that joined us. We all feel more ‘extraordinary’ for the time spent together.
As Eric re-iterated, Learning is a ‘verb’ and we must actively engage together, for the world is about ‘us’.
