This has been evident throughout lessons, where he is more than willing to help others, thus ensuring his classmates feel a sense of accomplishment.

He has managed to help his Enterprise group during some challenging discussions, taking on the role of the mediator and helping to make sure everyone has a say.

  I’m sure Alima will continue to show the kind of purpose that has carried her this far- I can’t wait to see what she’ll achieve next!

Lara - 6C

Self-Worth

Her superb drawings and writing always bring a smile to my face with her original and interesting thoughts.

• Rhianna is bursting with confidence (and hugs) and loves to share her fantastic work with the class. Every day, I can rely on Rhianna to do important jobs allowing her to show off her already blossoming leadership qualities. I’m looking forward to seeing your learning progress even further throughout Year 6. Keep it up you superstar!
