Dear Parents and Carers,
We have reached the half way point of the school year. Can you believe it? And even though half term may not be as exciting as we’d like, it is still a chance to spend time with family and switch those morning alarms off (if you’re not still working….!).
I’ve been so proud of all we have achieved as a community this term. Children, parents and staff have all had to adapt, and adapt quickly, to the changes. Our value of perseverance has never been more relevant or necessary! Thank you to our wonderful staff team for all their hard work and willingness to learn new skills.
As I said in my assembly this morning, many of us have been in the Learning Pit at some point this term. Adults and children! But never has it been more important to embrace a Growth Mindset and believe in ourselves. We may struggle at times with things we can’t do YET but when we take a breath and re-set, we find we’re able to keep going until we climb out of that Learning Pit. Phew!

Thank you for the treats that we have received in school this week. They do say that the greatest motivator is food and I can tell you that the treats were much appreciated this week!
Finally, we have one more request. If anyone has any spare headsets that you’d be happy to donate to school, we’d be very happy to receive them. Mr Nicoll made a very kind donation last lockdown and they have been invaluable. Thank you Mr Nicoll!

Don't forget we have changed our inset day and lessons will resume on Monday 22nd February.
Enjoy next week and let’s all pray we can return before too much longer.
Mrs Griffith
