It is going to be tough out there and we don’t know what is ahead of us

Approach to Learning

"I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you're a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you'll win; if you don't, you won't.“

- Bruce Jenner (Olympic Gold Medalist, Decathlon)

Reluctant Learner

Reluctant Learner

I do the work because I have to I do not stick at tasks when they get difficult I find it hard to get started on a task as I am

easily distracted I need constant attention from my teacher to

keep me on task I am not that bothered about the presentation

of my work I only act on feedback if I know my teacher is

going to check it I am not interested in taking on challenging

tasks

Excellent Learner

Excellent Learner

I try a range of available methods and strategies to help me solve problems

I persist with work even when it gets difficult I only ask my teacher to suggest another way of

doing something or get feedback on my own method I take real care and pride when presenting work I am always looking for ways in which I can improve

and learn I love challenging tasks and am happy to work

outside school time to improve further I care more about improving myself and learning

than my marks as I don’t see them as the ‘be all and end all’
