  4. We all created our shields on our first morning with some interesting information about ourselves – what we like!

  5. Learning metaphors – the children were shown pictures and asked how learning is like…… • A mountain – “because you need determination to get to your destination” (Liam), because you need to persevere to get to where you are going” (Jackson), “because you rise higher and to the next level the more you do” (Alex) • Going to the Dentist – “because sometimes it is scary but if you don’t do it you’ll regret it” (Tonayah) • A game – “because in a game you sometimes win and other times you lose – it’s the same with learning as sometimes it’s easy and other times it’s hard” (Sophie) • Rubbish – “because it can be boring but it does help you to have a better future” (Jennifer),

  6. More Learning Metaphors the children made up…. • Learning is like knitting a jumper as you can make so many different things by knitting and by picking up the stitches in your life you can achieve your goal. (Sophie) • Learning is a mask because learning can be mysterious and exciting and you wonder what it is all about (Alex) • Learning is a mask because sometimes you might feel ashamed to learn and think people are picking on your for learning so you might want to hide. (Kasie). (A small selection – all children contributed at least one)!
