Captains Flat Public School Newsletter

Real world learning is an approach that provides learners with the opportunity to apply their skills and knowledge in authentic ways. It allows the student to meaningfully extend their learning outside of the walls of the classroom. For our children, this may look like engaging with personal stories from our community, interacting with experts in different fields, sharing our learning with family members and friends or even just  asking questions and problem solving in every day scenarios such as getting ready, cooking or shopping. A way that you can support real world learning with your child is by encouraging them to ask questions, inquire and follow their curiosities. When they ask you questions, rather than giving the answers, support them with finding answers independently by prompting research and problem solving skills. 

Gratitude can change everything, and it is a life skill that we need to teach our kids (in fact by teaching kids the art of acknowledging what they are grateful for, we are giving them a gift). Expressing gratitude can be verbal, written, celebrated, or private. In the classroom, I love to begin each day with time to record three things that we are grateful for in a gratitude journal (I do it at the same time as the kids to show the importance and impact it can have on everyone).

Keeping a gratitude journal could also be a home activity, encouraging students to acknowledge and celebrate the little things in their life.
