Learning to Learn Weeks

Four weeks per year, following the Autumn half terms and the first Spring and Summer terms, are dedicated to Learning to Learn.  During these weeks, teachers address the needs of Templars pupils by:

• Creating a calm, collaborative classroom environment
• Teaching children to safeguard themselves through Protective Behaviour work
• Teaching, through practice, whole-school Templar’s Relentless Routines
• Reinforcing Templars ethos, rules and values
• Teaching behaviour expectations
• Promoting Templars reading culture
• Setting the culture and boundaries of PSHE routines
• Setting expectations for presentation in books including handwriting
• Conducting a range of AFL activities to inform planning of topics in response to need and interests of class, including a Knowledge Harvest
• Teaching of some Maths objectives to allow for effective retrieval practice throughout the year
• Teaching Learning Behaviours and Templars Language for Learning

Timetables, planning and particular foci are prepared by SLT in advance and made available on Sharepoint.
