WHAT IS A LEARNER?

In Room 11 we have been talking about things a good learner does. Here are some of our ideas...

Add your own ideas as comments - we would love to read them!

A good learner never gives up. A good learner always tries. A good learner never says “I can’t do it!”. MACABEE
A good learner is a confident learner. They sound out their words. They never give up. RILEY
A good learner does not give up. They don’t say “I can’t do it”.  They do not talk while the teacher is talking. AMELIE
A good learner robots the words and helps someone. A good learner practises everything. HALE
A good learner doesn’t copy other people. A good learner always puts their hand up if they have a question. TESSA
Being a good learner is helping. When you are stuck ask a friend. Be a good friend. A good learner never gives up. DAISY
A good learner listens to the teacher. A good learner never gives up. SEBBIE
A good learner never gives up. They listen. A good learner thinks and doesn’t talk. They try and ask for help. A good learner tries harder things and listens to the teacher. They sound out words and don’t say “I can’t do that.” RONAN
A good learner listens to the teacher. They have to read every day to get better. TRISTAN
A good learner needs to use your brain to work out things in Maths.  BELINAY
A good learner never gives up when they do Maths. They never give up when they do writing.  They never copy people. EDEN
A good learner asks someone if they need help. They don’t talk while writing. SYLVIE
A good learner doesn’t say “I can’t do it.” If you get stuck ask a friend. BELLA
A good learner doesn’t say “I can’t do it” but a good learner doesn’t say to the teacher “What is it?” because that is not learning like good children. Learning is supposed to be fun.  ALICE
A good learner keeps on trying and helps someone who is learning. If you are stuck ask someone and don’t forget and do ask questions. SAHANA
A good learner does listening and following instructions too. They sit on the mat quietly. A good learner thinks hard. LENNOX
A good learner tries new things. They help people when people are stuck. OSCAR

PURPLE CAKE DAY RECOUNTS:
