The pupils of Roaches Lower School enjoyed a range of activities today focusing on the story "The Dot". The story encourages a growth mindset in which the children are encouraged to have a go rather than give up at the first hurdle. The children have each been asked to name one thing that they hope to achieve in the future and to aim for it. They may not be able to do it YET! The pupils have designed and painted wooden discs, completed a calligraphy experiment and worked as part of a team to build a tower. All activities were aimed at encouraging the pupils to think bigger and aim higher!

We have enjoyed the start of our new nurture morning sessions which take place on a Monday. The children have discussed their emotions as well as designing their own rainbow toast. The breakfast club has proved a hit, the pupils have enjoyed getting together before lessons and getting creative!

Lower School pupils have been enjoying learning about algorithms by programming R2Kee2 and Big Trak.
