mundia Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Yes I think so Beau, its quite big in Solihull I believe, although I dont know anyhting about it myself.
Guest Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 We took on BLP as a school last year, one r at a time and in FS used elements of it! We have 'Percy' who is a tortoise that perseveres at things and all the children come and tell us when they or their friends have persevered at something, they get certificates too! We also had a big push on resourcing and independence with staff ensuring resources are well labelled accessible etc (a lot of which you are probably already doing in an EY classroom) It is basically giving children the skills they need to be learners and the tools to learn. There are parts that work well for FS but a lot was geared at older children, esp KS2. Good luck!
Guest Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 sorry yes it is building learning power it has really made improvements in the rest of the school but they are not very good at making it foundation friendly
Guest Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 There is an article on this in my union's latest magazine I think. Pretty sure I saw it when I flicked through at lunchtime, although it's still at work so can't check.
Guest Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Yes it is in ATL magazine. Try www.buildinglearningpower.co.uk. We have been doing something similar in our school for the last four years or so, as part of university research.
