Quality Learning Plan

Toroa  2014

Welcome to our Learning Plan!

The students in Toroa have been working very hard to develop this Learning Plan.

We worked together, talked a lot and thought carefully about what we wanted learning to be like in our class and at our school. 

We shared our ideas and listened to other people’s views, too. 

Our Learning Plan will help us become READY, WILLING and ABLE to LEARN TOGETHER every day at Ladbrooks School.

Our Learning Plan will also help us have fun, be happy and be successful in our learning. 

 In our Learning Plan, you will read about our…

·        School Mission Statement

·        School Values

·        Principles

·        Classroom expectations and norms

·        Learning celebrations

·        Classroom consequences

We are proud of our work and hope that you will help us in our journey towards success.

Principles

Our Class Principles are a list of behaviours that we all agree to follow to ensure that our classroom is a safe and happy place in which to learn.

We developed them by asking three questions:
