The Willows Primary School strives to develop great learners and responsible citizens in its students.'The Learning Pit' is taught to students in grades one through six.The pit represents the challenges they face on their learning path, and it is discussed in terms of how they feel and what they might face at various stages of learning.They all go through a stage of learning where they are struggling, which they refer to as "being in the pit."They can climb out of the pit and feel proud of their new learning by persevering, overcoming mistakes, and confronting challenges and misconceptions.Along with the learning pit, they've implemented the 5Bs strategy to help all students take more ownership of their education.When children are stuck or in the pit, the 5B's provide them with strategies to help themselves as well as ways to get help.They put on events for kids, parents, and the community.
