⭐️Learning Journals ⭐️

Over the next few weeks some of the children will be beginning to explore how to use the ipads to scan our QR codes and access their own learning journals. They will be encouraged to navigate to their own journal and will learn how to add their very own post, giving them the opportunity to take ownership of their learning and achievements.

This will help children to recognise and celebrate their own successes, take pride in what they can do, and develop their confidence and skills when using digital technology.
