Calrossy Junior School

This fortnight we are focusing on Love of Learning.

Wise people want to learn more, so they listen closely to gain knowledge. Proverbs 18:15

It is innate in young children to love learning; they are curious and excited about the world

around them. But how do we foster this beyond the younger years? You may have noticed

this or be interested in how to stop this. You might think that your child loves learning as

they can sprout facts from YouTube or TV documentaries or books. But what do they do

with that information – having a thirst or love of learning is one thing, but being able to

channel that learning for good is an entirely different thing.

We want our children to be able to synthesise knowledge, reason, predict, question, and

make links. Have a look at the infographic below, it encourages children to activate their

love of learning through other avenues, that is not just knowledge coming in, but learning

by doing which will build their learning muscles.

It was lovely to see so many mothers and special ladies at our Junior School Mother’s Day

Assembly and Morning Tea. Thank you for joining us. Thanks also to our P&F Volunteers for running the Mother’s Day stall.

Have a wonderful week.
