Pengelli Primary School

Teachers and teaching assistants use a thoughtful range of approaches, including intuitive questioning, observation and insightful interaction to support younger pupils’ learning. From a young age, pupils voluntarily explain what and how they are learning and point out relevant links to their lives outside school. Most younger pupils develop as effective independent learners and often lead their learning and play, planning activities, organising themselves and testing out their theories. Pupils in the Reception class, for example, use chalk and wooden implements to construct and carry out an investigation into who is the strongest by observing who breaks the chalk in two first.
