This week, we’re focusing on being ready to learn and responding to feedback. Year 6 show they’re ready to learn by having empty hands, writing their date and learning objective quickly (but neatly), asking questions, and by ensuring they have everything they need in their trays.
We’ve talked a lot this week about responding to feedback and knowing what feedback is:
- marking in books
- requests made at home
- tips during football training
- verbal praise during a piano lesson
As the children had their books marked all week, we looked at how well we were responding to the feedback in them. Where we’d not responded to feedback, we recognised that this was going to mean that we were missing out on opportunities to learn from our mistakes or on receiving positive comments so that we know what to continue doing well.
As a class, we decided we were probably better as responding to feedback at home or at a club than at school. Discuss feedback with your child at home:
- What feedback do you give them?
- Which is positive?
- Which is negative?
- How do they respond to it?
- Is this the best response?
