As a school, we have been working really hard to improve our joined up handwriting. We have been having three handwriting sessions a week to focus on the formation of our letter and perfecting our letter joins.

The whole school participated in a kindness seminar this week and we were all encouraged to spread kindness by our actions.  Pine class produced some beautiful cards for their friends, family and even teachers!  I can definitely confirm that their efforts produced a great burst of happiness across the school.

This afternoon, in Spruce Class, we have been learning all about having a growth mindset. People with a growth mindset believe that intelligence can be changed and developed throughout their lives. This is true - our intelligence is not fixed and our brain is a muscle that will continue to grow if it works hard. We will be working throughout the year to build our resilience to setbacks and to challenge ourselves to allow our brains to grow!
