For the next two weeks, we will continue to look at our school-wide value, Perseverance. In particular we are looking at people who have failed in their first attempts but have kept trying and kept trying, to eventually succeed. It is important for us all to accept that failure is an essential part of the learning process, and at Lyttelton Primary School we endeavour to create a safe environment where experimentation and failure are necessary for learning. As teachers, we encourage innovative mindsets that practice pushing against the fear of failure, while focusing on the joy of experimentation, constant discovery, and learning.
