Our Learning Heroes
We have 5 Learning Heroes that help us to define the types of learning
behaviours that we are aiming to develop. In the classes you will be able to
hear the children talking about which Learning Hero they are being today
and which ones they need to work on.

Incy Independent
Incy Independent
Incy Independent is not interested in an easy ride because they know it won’t move their
learning on. They like to be challenged and is ‘up for anything!’ That doesn’t mean they are a
brainbox; they just stick at their learning and even their best friend can’t distract them because they have learnt to block out things that could sidetrack them from their goal.
STICKABILITY: Perseverance, resilience and determination, ‘Try 3 before me’
HAVE A GO: Try new things and challenges
ARE YOU IN THE ZONE?: Concentration and managing distractions -
