  2. Why we have switched • A lot of benefits linked to independent learning skills, creativity and a more solid understanding of the objectives • The old system led to a lot of complaints from parents and children

  3. Understanding Learning Logs • Real life context • Parent/child discussions and understanding of what is being taught at school • Opportunity for regular key skills practice • Flexible • Whole school system

  4. For example • Talk about the objectives • Decide: Order a mixed set of decimal numbers with up to three decimal places • Discuss where we see decimal numbers in everyday life

  5. For example • Take a section of a supermarket receipt and order the prices from high to low • Record the mileage for each journey during the week/weekend by resetting milometer in the car then order from nearest to home to furthest • Measure each piece of furniture in a room/every item in a pencil case etc. and list in order • Convert your family members ages into decimal numbers and order

  6. Not challenging / too challenging • They will make it right for them • Link to real situations • Far more possibilities than worksheets

  7. Have they done it right? • Yes! • It is the child’s interpretation of the learning objective • Write discussions down • 2 lots of 20 minutes • It’s all about the process • The work doesn’t have to be recorded in the learning log

  8. I don’t have enough time • Evenings can be busy – use journeys to discuss objectives and plan the page • It always comes home on the same day • It is only 40 minutes • Learning log club

  9. They choose easy subjects • We are monitoring • You can monitor • No subject is a soft option

  10. Parents do all the thinking • We expect parents to spend 40 minutes a week supporting your child’s education • The children are not expected to come up with all the ideas alone • The discussions are critical • Whole school system • Sheet of ideas • Parents enthusiasm plays a key role • Learning log club
