herself and continued with her most vivid memories of learning whilst at primary school.
I believe learning is about engaging children in a topic and engrossing them in a love of
learning. Learning can also be defined as a change in an individuals knowledge, ability to
perform a skill and to participate in an activity with other individuals (Swinburne Online,
2015).
There are numerous methods to classify different learning strategies and styles, which can
get you thinking about the ways you have learnt and recognise your favoured style. You can
use this same approach to implement strategies to assist children to learn more effectively.

what I am doing. I like to
move around, as well as

speech. I can do a recount
of events, but struggle with
