Preparatory. St Oswald's CofE Infant School, Ashbourne, Derbyshire. What is Personalised Learning?
Our creative curriculum has been praised by Derby hire Local Authority because it is relevant, real, fun and stimulating. At St Oswald’s we give children first hand experiences to help them to develop new skills, knowledge and understanding. At St Oswald’s we help pupils become better learners, encouraging them to reach their potential and take responsibility for their own learning. Personalised Learning helps children understand how and why they learn and how they can take more responsibility for their own learning.
Personalised Learning gives children opportunities to share what they already know about a topic and how or what they would like to learn more of. Therefore each time a topic is taught by the teachers they are responding to the individual interests of the children in the class.

The children might be proud of having done their Learning Log but not of their work. We thought that this was defeating the purpose of Learning Logs. We spend a lot of time in class suggesting ways in which learning can be shown, encouraging children to collaborate and share ideas and providing pictures and wordlists. The majority of children are now enthusiastic about their Learning Logs and are becoming more creative and imaginative. Stephen's Learning Log Brodie's Learning Log.

Voltaire A think book is a home for my thinking. Claire, aged 10 To think well you need a brain, but sometimes it helps to have a pen too - and a book. What are think books? A number of names are given to ‘think’ books, including journals, jotters or learning logs. In the past ‘diary’ and ‘journal’ were used interchangeably. The nineteenth century American writer Thoreau expressed the purpose of a journal very well when he said it was a space where he could ‘meet himself face to face’. The stimulus of a think book is that it is open-ended - free from formulae or convention. It also provides the chance for thoughts to be preserved over time.
A think book therefore is simply a general term for that which houses personal kinds of writing – ‘a book of one’s own’. The aims of a Think Books. The Home of Building Learning Power. Sharing Good Practice in Personalised Learning.
