# Learning Powers

## Learning Powers

In Key Stage 2, children are introduced to the idea of Learning Powers and how this can help them both in their school work and in life in general. We have based our learning powers around 5 very inspiration people- David Bowie, Stephen Hawking, Rosa Parks, Ella Fitzgerald and Marie Curie. Some of our year 5 children have recorded themselves reading about these amazing people- have a listen here!
