Our learning superheroes help us learn!

We want our children to be lifelong learners who leave us both wanting to learn more and with the skills to do so. We use our learning superheroes to teach our children how to be resilient, independent, creative, fearless and collaborative learners. The children are introduced to the superheroes one by one, and are then given feedback on their learning using the superhero language. Everyone celebrates when we see children or adults showing ‘superhero’ behaviours.
