The Learning Pit

What is the Learning Pit? We all go through it when we learn something new! 

Today, we first learnt about the learning pit by learning about a finger movement pattern. Ximena showed us how to do it. We were in the first stage of the learning pit where we wanted to learn something new.

Then we were in the learning pit, at the bottom of the picture. We were feeling a little fuzzy and unsure.

We kept practising and practising. We were now coming up out the pit. 

To practise our new learning about The Learning Pit, we used positive self talk such as "I can do it" and "I'll keep trying" when we were sketching trees.
