Reaching high for the best for your child

Memory and Learning

Thursday, 23 May 2019

Each term, we have a focus for improving our school. This term, we are thinking about 'Memory and Learning'.

Staff are thinking about what memory is; how our curriculum embeds concepts into long-term memory; and what teaching strategies impact most on memory. 

Pupils will be thinking about what helps them remember things, so they can recall learning from their short and long term memory at an age-appropriate level.

At home, why not try learning some mnemonics to help your child remember something?

Can you work out what these mnemonics help us remember?
