Characteristics of effective learning
playing and exploring : engagement – finding out and exploring, playing with what they know, be
willing to have a go
active learning : motivation – being involved, concentrating ,keeping trying, enjoying achieving what
they set out to do
creating and thinking critically : thinking – having their own ideas, making links, choosing ways to do
things
