Surrey Street Primary School LEARNING LOG POLICY 2015-2016
Rationale The Learning Log is a snapshot of the children’s work throughout the year. It is a way to share each child’s learning and progress. It should be seen as a way not only to show academic achievements but all achievements both inside and outside school. The Learning Log is a three way partnership. It should be a point of discussion at school and at home, and a way for parents to praise their child. Each child should feel a sense of pride in their work.
Responsibility of the Child Complete the Learning Log every week Take pride in the content and presentation of your work Show your Learning Log to your parents and discuss it with them
Responsibility of the Parent Value your child’s Learning Log by sharing the contents with your child Add your own comments on a sticky note if you wish
