Welcome to our curriculum webpage for ILT (Independent Learning Time)
"Rough red is fun: it gets you learning. In the rough red there are tricky bits and you have to get through them to get to brilliant blue."
Seth L, Freddie R and Lulabelle F - Reception
"We get feedback from the teachers to help us learn. Sometimes people get inspired by other people and make the same things."
Emma W - Reception
Working independently is integral to children's development at Newlaithes. It helps to develop the characteristics of effective learning and continues throughout Key Stage One enabling children to work both independently and collaboratively to great effect.
Children continue to use these skills throughout Key Stage 2 as they tackle independent projects and stem challenges.
The learning line (pictured below) is shared with the children right from the start of Reception and they have an understanding of where they are on the line enabling them to find new challenge and enter the learning pit (rough red) and successfully problem solve to overcome them and reach the brilliant blue. We reference the learning line in all aspects of our learning.
