Living and Learning

Thursday 11 September 2025

At Sphere Federation, we use 8 R’s to promote good learning behaviour and social and character development.

This week, we have revisited these characteristics and reflected on how we implement these at school, at home and in the wider community. This is what the children had to share:

In maths, we remember key methods for the four operations – Chloe

When we do something wrong, we keep on trying and show resilience – Lily

I am responsible around school; I am a lunchtime assistant – Ayah

We have opportunities to be responsible as a Collective Worship Leader – Willow

We take risks in Forest School because there is an element of the unknown and we don’t always know what is around the corner – Leo S

We reflect at the end of Collective Worship. At this time we sometimes sing and think about our future actions – Leo M

In school, we are resourceful as we try not to waste things and we take care of our own resources – Teddy

We have fire drills and practice other safety procedures to ensure we are ready for any danger – Valerie

We are responsive as we give positive answers when spoken to by an adult – Freddie

Help at home – talk about the 8 R’s at home. How can your child use them at home? Encourage your child to share with others how they have used the 8R’s.
