P6B decided as a class that they wanted to research which learning spaces supported concentration.
For each learning experience the children were able to select a learning space suitable for their own individual needs and were encouraged to move when required.
Here this numeracy group chose where the class teacher was based and developed a station that supported concentration. The children said that this supported learning as they were working directly with the teacher and everyone could contribute and see.
During numeracy this child chose to work independently away from any other children. He said this helped him to focus as there were no distractions.
During this HWB lesson some children chose to work sitting next to a partner but not facing them. They said it was good to have someone to support their learning but it stopped them from talking about off task topics.
The consensus was that the children were more engaged when they got to select their own learning space. We hope to adapt our classroom to provide more opportunities for personalisation and choice.
