Attitude to learning Why? -To highlight to children that it will be their Attitude to Learning that will enable them to be successful in life, regardless of where they are academically. -A chance for those children who often struggle to receive recognition for commitment and dedication towards their leanring. -A kick up the bum for those who may be coasting… they’ll soon be catching you!
