February sees the Core Value focus coming back to Resilience with Key Stage 2 looking at the linked value of Optimism. These are very important values to develop in our children as they are about encouraging the pupils to not give up, embrace challenges and see the positives when things seem difficult.

Nursery and Reception pupils are also learning about the value of Resilience to carry on building a deeper understanding after being introduced to this value in January. They will be introduced to the connected vocabulary of trying and patience.

We are also still encouraging all pupils in Years 4, 5 and 6 to demonstrate their values at school, at home and in the local community by completing Bronze, Silver and Gold levels of our Values Baccalaureate.

 

Please continue to talk about our Values with your children as they help them develop both morally and support their academic work. Please see our Values page and the specific webpages on Resilience for our resources, including Values Baccalaureate task cards.
