Mrs Simone Whalley —

The Year 3 children have been learning about Growth Mindset. This helps them to embrace new ideas and thrive in an ever changing world. It also encourages them to take on new challenges and not be afraid to fail. 

The children have learnt about the Learning Pit. This pit is a visual aid to help them visualise the process of working through change. It helps them to imagine being at the bottom of the pit when you are feeling frustrated and afraid. It teaches them to persevere in order to come out the other side. Mindfulness nicely complements having a Growth Mindset. 

The Year 3 children have been learning special breathing and relaxation exercises to focus the body and mind, ready for optimum learning. 

Thank you Year 3 children,  for sharing this learning with us at our last two Junior School Assemblies.
