Curriculum Corner
The Learning Pit
The staff at St Joseph’s are excited about the learning that will occur in our classrooms this year. They are ready to challenge their students and engage in interesting learning activities. They have already begun to implement and embed ‘The Learning Pit‘ into all aspects of the curriculum. We want our students to be engaged in rich learning activities where they are challenged and supported by each other, their parents and their teachers. Learning occurs when we are challenged and step outside our comfort zone and as James Nottingham describes it, students enter ‘The Learning Pit’. The Learning Pit is an analogy that illustrates how we learn.
