Primary Years Programme (PYP)
Celebration of Learning
At Scotch Junior School we celebrate and share our learning in many different ways. We do this formally, for example with written reports and parent/teacher interviews, and informally, such as our annual Grandparents Day which took place on October 25.
For those who weren't able to attend, Grandparents Day was a wonderful celebration for both the boys and their very special guests. The boys were proud and happy to share snapshots of their life at Scotch Junior School. Grandparents observed - and in some cases participated in - learning activities, and also attended a mini assembly. There was definitely an air of excitement around the school.
Providing opportunities for the boys to share and celebrate learning are important as they not only help facilitate ownership and responsibility of learning, build self-confidence and communication, but sharing brings our school community closer together. Grandparents are an important part of our Scotch learning community.
"Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children." Alex Haley
