The Skills School group were asked to think about where they learn at Manor Park School. In groups they explored the school and thought about how different parts of the school made them feel and helped with their learning.
The children went to their classrooms, the gym hall, the library and the playground and took photos with different coloured dots depending on if the place is somewhere that helps them to learn, makes them feel calm, is somewhere they like to be, or a place that they would like to change.
Afterwards the group came back together to share their experiences of different places they learn in at Manor Park. They thought about what could be better and came up with some solutions to things that get in the way of learning at school.
‘The PE hall and outside are places we like to learn because you learn active stuff and how to be fit.’
‘Our classroom needs more toys. In P1 you get lots but in P3/4 there aren’t many’
‘The space with the sofa in the corridor is a calm place to learn because there is no one around you.’
