At Whinmoor St Paul’s we know that everyone learns differently. As the name suggests, active learning is when a child is doing something, rather than sitting quietly and listening. It is widely believed that children learn more when they are part of the learning. This could mean they have to read, write, discuss or solve a problem.
Active learning can take many forms and can be adapted to suit the needs of a particular child. It could involve problem-solving, creating projects, or playing educational games. Whatever form it takes, it should always have an element of interaction with the material being learned.
