Paul: “I liked forget injuries, never forget kindnesses because it tells us that we should think about who cares for us and all the things they do for us.”

Lauren C: “I liked be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes because it means if you do something just try and learn from it instead of giving yourself a hard time.”

Antonia: “Finlay impressed me this week because he has been really kind to me.”

Mr Berginis: “I was very impressed with how well the class understood the sayings of Confucius and they were able to pick out the ones which they thought could help them in their lives. My favourite is forget injuries because it is important to forgive people so that they can forgive themselves as well.”

Ellie: “In writing we were writing an imaginative story called What A Day! We focused on emotions and we had to write about an amazing day we had had the day before.”
