Year 6 Become The Teachers!

This week, Year 6 introduced some innovative teaching models for our students. The Year 6 students showcased their peer teaching strategies focused on additive relations.

Peer teaching is a dynamic approach where students learn from and with each other through activities such as student-led workshops, study groups, and peer-to-peer learning partnerships. This method encourages collaboration and communication, empowering students to take charge of their own learning in a supportive and interactive environment.

Year 6 students were actively engaging and supporting one another as they mastered additive relations. By explaining concepts to their peers, students not only deepened their own understanding but also contributed to building a strong, collaborative learning community.

Some of our Year 6 students shared their experiences.

‘As a student teacher, I found that helping my peers was actually helpful as it developed my learning as well’.

‘As a student teacher, teaching my peers was a pleasure. My peers asking me questions made me realise the different views of each student and how you need to teach at different levels and pace’.

‘As a learner I found it a very interesting and fun experience. Learning from our peers was easier since they were seeing the task from the same point of view as us making the explanation easier to understand’.

‘It put learning into a different perspective and all the students grew from being part of it, overall, a great experience’.
