Inquiry - Learning Pit
Today in Inquiry, we looked at 'The Learning Pit'. We love the learning pit as a toll because it shows us that it's ok to struggle with our learning, that it's natural that some things are harder to learn than others, it's ok to seek help in our learning. By going through this process our learning is deeper and more meaningful and we will be more successful.
As a class we talked about there are different stages when learning something new. We start by facing a challenge and this is the time when we could feel anxious, nervous or even scared about what is ahead of us. We 'fall' into the pit (Deep Learning) and start feeling confused, thinking it's all too hard. Then we start to realise that if we ask for help, keep trying and ask questions, we can begin to climb up out of the pit. By working together, collaboratively and positively we can reach the third stage of learning - Successful Learning.
One of the best things about the Learning Pit is that it relates to all areas of life - not just Reading or Maths, but to activities such as mountain biking or surfing, learning to play the piano or the violin. It can apply to anything!
Check out the photos below of us creating our own personal learning pits to refer to throughout the year and some of the final products. These are very cool Room 21 - great effort!
