Metacognition at North Duffield Community Primary School.
At North Duffield we are proud of our learning and ensure that all our pupils develop the learning behaviours which will enable them to become successful life-long learners. To continue to achieve this we have recently introduced metacognition throughout the school:
- to give children a toolkit for understanding how they learn;
- to give them strategies for learning;
- to identify their own progress and set goals for future learning;
- to provide them with a common language to talk about learning.
How have we introduced this to the children?
We have introduced the 4RS: Resilience, Reflectiveness, Resourcefulness and Reciprocity (Relating). Each of these learning behaviours has a character to represent them to make them accessible to all ages.
