This is an intrinsic part of our curriculum and teaches the children the skills for learning (for example how to persevere, manage their distractions and collaborate). It ensures that children know what it feels like to learn something new.  It ensures they realise  it is OK not to understand and helps them develop strategies to overcome this and get out of the 'Learning Pit'.  We want our children to be resilient independent learners who have the skills needed to learn throughout their life. ​We want children to have a love for learning.
