As week two draws to an end, I’d like to share some moments where the pupils have used our 8Rs for learning extremely well. As a reminder, the 8Rs are below:
- remembering
- risk taking
- resilience
- ready
- reflective
- responsible
- resourceful
- responsive
In reading, the children ended the week by performing extracts of Juliane Koepka’s diary – a survivor who beat the odds when lost in the Amazon Rainforest. For this, the children needed to remember the extracts when planning to perform, take risks when performing in front of others and reflect on feedback from peers at the end of their performances.
Lots of pupils have shown an interest in applying for school jobs. For the applications, children have had to show that they are responsible, responsive and ready for the role. I’m super proud of how many applications we have had back in Year 5!
Finally, in writing, the children are constantly remembering when to use capital letters – their books look fantastic so far as there’s lots of effort being put in.
