IPC PROJECT FOR THE FIRST WEEK Brainwave - The art of learning

The Big Idea

Every day we are learning lots of new and different things – gaining the knowledge, skills and understanding that we will need to become successful adults. By ﬁnding out more about how we learn, and how we can improve our learning, we will be better equipped for meeting the many challenges ahead of us.

We will be ﬁnding out:
- About different methods of teaching and how we like to learn
  
  About some of the different areas of the brain
  
  How information gets into the brain
  
  How relaxation can help prepare us for learning
  
  How we can improve our memory
  
  How positive thinking can help us to succeed
  
  How we can support each other to achieve our goals
  
  How we can become more active global citizens
Children will also learn:
- Know about some of the recent evidence and research into the brain and learning
  
  Know about some of the different areas of the brain and their function
  
  Understand the different ways that they can learn
  
  Understand how they can improve their learning and their attitudes to learning
  
  Understand the importance of cooperation and global awareness in their learning
