In Year 3, we have been learning about our brains and how they affect our learning. We use brain breaks to calm our amgydala. This helps the other parts of our brain - the pre-frontal cortex and the hippocampus be ready for learning. We have also been developing our strategies for when we find our learning challenging. Using the 5 Bs - brain, book, board, buddy and boss (teacher) is an example of what the Year 3 children find helpful. Reflection, our value of the month, is also a great skill for thinking about our learning. We have reflected on our strengths and are all 'shining lights' in a wide variety of areas. Miss Sammon commented, "It's great to hear how the children talk about strategies to help them."
