Our Learning Together Projects provide pupils and their families with opportunities to explore their learning creatively. In addition to regular homework, which is usually English and Maths based, pupils are set a Learning Together Project every term. Projects are designed to encourage children to apply their knowledge, develop their creativity and share their learning in a way that is meaningful to them.
Families are encouraged to work together on projects. This could include parents, carers, siblings and other family members. If a pupil has a family member who also attends our school, they are welcome to work collaboratively and produce one project together. Working together provides a wonderful opportunity for families to share ideas, discuss learning and celebrate their children’s creativity.
Pupils are free to choose how to complete and present their Projects. For example, they may choose to write about the task, draw illustrations, cut out and stick information in, create a diagram, write a poem, or even add photographs or artefacts. The choice is theirs!
We would very much like parents/carers to work with their children on the completion of these Projects. However, we ask that parents/carers do not complete the tasks for them. Thank you.
The presentation of the Projects set in the Learning Together Journal is of paramount importance. All tasks should be completed to the highest standard, with neat handwriting, careful cutting and sticking. Any illustrations or diagrams should be drawn neatly, using a ruler where necessary. House Points may be awarded for a high level of presentation.
Every Learning Together Project that is handed in is celebrated and valued. We are proud to celebrate the hard work, creativity and effort of all our pupils. Pupils’ work is celebrated in our weekly Celebration Assembly, where parents and carers are invited to join us in celebrating their achievements and successes.
Please find below some examples of Projects that have been completed by pupils and their families.
