The learning conversations are three-way conferences with the teacher, child and parent. Three-way conferences take the form of a conversation between the child, the parents and the teacher as they sit together and talk about the child’s learning, with the child taking an equal role. This approach give children an opportunity to share with their parents their growth as a learner. The three-way conferences are designed to achieve one or more of the following goals:
* to help children demonstrate evidence of learning,
* to teach children the process of reflection and self-evaluation,
* to facilitate the development of child’s organisational and oral communication skills and to increase their self-confidence,
to encourage children, parents, and teachers to engage in open and honest dialogue,
* to encourage children to accept personal responsibility for their learning.

Times for Learning Conversations are:
Wednesday 7 June 12:30pm – 6:00pm and Thursday 8 June 3:15pm – 6:00pm
