Eco Committee News
Our eco committee proudly show off their bug hotel purchased with our grant from Learning through Landscapes last session. We can’t wait to put this outside and investigate the guests who take up residence.
Celebrating with Seasons for Growth
Several of our pupils undertook work with Mrs.Elliott and Seasons for Growth to support them with their feelings of personal loss. Here they are celebrating after they completed their support programme.
What happened on our Growth Mindset Day?
We started off our school day with a whole school Growth Mindset Assembly. The pictures show that it was highly interactive and informative. Scott, the leader, then worked with classes from Pr. 4 – 7 throughout the day delivering workshops that focussed children on developing a growth mindset in comparison to having a fixed mindset. As a school we have a clear vision in regard of raising children’s aspirations so that they can achieve and be all they can be with effort and determination.
