Music Festival, Sports' Day and Growth Mindsets

Another very busy, but enjoyable week ...
We started the week off with Year 2 visiting Copford School and taking part in the Music Festival. The children's behaviour was superb. We had a wonderful morning; singing, playing instruments and performing with other schools in the area.






Despite all the odds, on Tuesday we were able to go ahead with Sports' Day, only getting a bit damp!




Preparing for the relay



Congratulations Blue House - the Winners
A surprise visit from Eddie!
This week has been Growth Mindset Week and the children have been 'growing their brains.' They have been trying to change the language they use when faced with a difficult challenge. E.g. From 'I can't do this' to 'I can't do this yet!'  We have been encouraging mistakes as this is how we learn. I have been hugely impressed with the learning powers the children have demonstrated - Independence, Resilience, Co-operation, Creativity and Perseverance. See the Growth Mindset Blog for examples.
