Progress Cards

During Assemblies this week all students received a laminated blue card. We do not want your first contact with these cards to be when they have been washed inside your
child’s blazer pocket!

They contain 5 questions for students to ask themselves to ensure that they are focused on making good progress in lessons. They have been asked to keep these cards on them at all times at school and use them as a tool to focus their minds at school and ensure they get the most from every lesson. The questions on the card are as follows:
In this Lesson…
1. Do I know my learning objectives? What am I trying to achieve by the end of this lesson?
2. Do I know my success criteria? Do I know what success looks/sounds/feels like?
3. How is what I am doing helping me to make progress towards my learning objectives?
4. Am I doing anything right now that is stopping or slowing my progress?
5. What do I know or can I do now that I didn’t or couldn't at the start of this lesson?

Please encourage your child to look after their card and use it to help them achieve their goals from their time at Hayes School.
