This week at the Lower School, we have been continuing our work on growth mindset and ‘the power of yet’. Ms Binks has been amazed at the number of children who have stopped in the corridor or lunch hall to tell her when they have used this learning power to help them. We are very proud of their achievements and the resilience the children are showing when faced with challenge. At the Upper School we were wowed by Larch class’ assembly this morning. They reminded us of the importance of self reflection and our Pegasus values. They thought carefully about each one, explaining why they are so important to us all. They completed their assembly with a melodious rendition of ‘Proud’ by Heather Small. Many thanks to Larch class for their uplifting performance and to Ms Wadham Powell and Ms Surrey for supporting the children to deliver their assembly.
