Our Kindness Initiative is going so well. Have a look at the awesome acts of Kindness happening around our school on a daily basis. Here are some examples of the kind deeds we are seeing and hearing about.

My friend helped me when I was sad.

Another student helped me find my hat.

I was alone at lunch and some other kids invited me into their game.

I dropped my things and someone stopped to help.

When I get to school, children always smile and say hello to me.

For the next two weeks, we are focusing on Being a Learner. Everyone at our school is a learner! The students, teachers, learning assistants, office staff- even our parents are learners. Whether we are in the classroom, out playing sport, reading in the library or playing in the playground, we can learn in all areas of our school life and in anything we do.

When we are learners we face lots of challenges and always try our best, using a growth mindset. This means we think positive thoughts that help us, rather than putting ourselves down.

When we are learning new things, it often doesn’t come easily to us straight away. Often it takes a lot of hard work to become good at a new skill! When we are being ‘a good learner’, we never give up and always try our best no matter what!

All humans make mistakes and that’s okay! Especially when we are learning something new! The most important thing is that we learn from our mistakes to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Maybe we didn’t make a good learning choice, or we got a question wrong, or we missed a goal in a game. Whatever it was… we work out where we went wrong and we learn from that to get better!

Being organised is crucial to our learning and it shows we are trying our best. There are 4 questions we can ask ourselves to check if we are organised and ready to learn:

• Do I have everything I need for my learning?
• Am I in the right place?
• Am I on time?
• Am I showing whole body listening?
