HOME LEARNING AT RH

I am so, so, so impressed with the home learning which has come in this week. I must give a special mention to our Year 6s who were given an optional project to carry out as they were required to complete some prep for their up and coming Sats. Not only did most of them create a Space themed outcome but the quality was phemonenal.
Here are some outcomes from Mrs Brook's class:

These outcomes extend beyond being "just an information poster". They are sheer works of art.

I think the quality of home learning has increased hugely over recent years. I put this down to a number of factors. School continually reviews the curriculum to ensure that the topics we study with the children are highly interesting and highly relevant. Of course we have have to fulfill our statutory requirements but the way we deliver our topics has really transformed in the last 2 years. There is a much larger emphasis on outcomes for a purpose (e.g performances, in house school museums, carnivals, charities etc...) adding meaning and a reason to succeed to the learning process. The children know that what they produce will be valued and will give them a great insight into the topic they are about to learn.
It makes me really proud of the children to see the level of commitment they give to thinking outside of the box and that healthy competetive streak that they show in striving to create something that will stand out of the crowd.

 

So many children choose to create 3D, interactive pieces with incredible attention to detail.

 

Phenomenal ideas, expertly constructed, lovingly prepared...........Inspirational!
