The 5 Key Competencies are
as follows:
Thinking
Relating to Others
Using Symbols, Languages and Texts
Managing Self
Participating and Contributing
At Tinwald we assigned one competency to a finger on a hand, making it easier to remember and illustrate. We have also colour coded the fingers and arranged the competencies in order so that the initials create the acronym T.R.U.M.P.
One of our aims is to have a consistent approach in all classrooms, so that children learn about these competencies as they progress through their schooling. We would encourage you to also use the language of the Key Competencies with your children to reinforce their learning at school.
