Learning Superheroes - Resilient Roo Autumn 1

EYFS

Christopher

At the start of the year Christopher struggled a little bit coming into school in the mornings and attending the after school club. He would get very upset and needed comforting. However, now he has settled into reception really well. He knows the class routines and enjoys being at school. He has made some new friends and is building good relationships with his teachers.

Well done Christopher, keep up the great work!

Amelia

In September, Amelia was finding coming into school quite tricky. However, she is now showing enjoyment when being in class, demonstrating more confidence when speaking to children and other adults and enjoys playing in all areas of the classroom. We are starting to see much more of Amelia’s warm smile, and we hope her perseverance with school continues. Keep going Amelia!

Noah

From the minute Noah started in the Reception class he has demonstrated such amazing skills of resilience and perseverance. In all aspects of his learning he tries his best and will check with an adult that he is doing what he has been asked to do, correctly. We are particularly proud of his phonics and handwriting! Well done Noah! Keep up the hard work!

Elsie

Elsie found coming into nursery a little tricky however, Elsie has been an absolute superstar since she began Reception. She has blossomed into a confident little girl who has come out of her shell; coming into school with a huge smile on her face, always wanting to talk to the adults and complete her learning tasks to the best of her ability. We are SO proud of you Elsie. Well done!

Marcus

Marcus began his time in nursery speaking very little. However, over the past couple of terms, Marcus’ desire to want to speak has improved greatly and given that English is his second language, this effort and determination has impressed us even more. Keep up the great efforts Marcus; we love to hear your voice!

David

David has always been a quieter member of the class, however during his time in the nursery he has begun to verbalise more frequently; trying so hard to use English words appropriately and correctly. When talking, he always displays a smile and loves receiving praise for his efforts. We are very proud of his determination to learn and use English at school. Well done David!

KS1

Patryk

Patryk has made such a great start to the year in Maths and has demonstrated such a will to succeed even when the learning is getting tricky. I am so proud of his resilience and can already see how his focus and unrelenting spirit will create great progress for him this year. Well done Patryk!

Arlo

At the beginning of this year Arlo was finding it tricky to settle back into the routines of school after the Summer holidays. Despite always trying his best at school this was something Arlo had to work hard at finding his inner strength and confidence again. Well done for finding that resilient core inside Arlo; I am so proud of you.

Benjamin

Benjamin doesn’t always find coming into school easy but over the past few weeks it has been lovely to see Benjamin come into school and leave at the end of the day with a big smile on his face. He is beginning to manage his feelings with resilience which allows him to start the day much more focused and ready for the challenges ahead. Keep it up Benjamin!

Callan

Callan is always a ‘happy go lucky’ boy and loves coming into school. Last year he was a quieter member of the class and kept himself to himself but already this year it has been lovely to see him make some great friendships and work well with his friends both in the classroom and on the playground. Callan used to get quite upset when things didn’t go his way when working with others, but this year he is a different boy - very sociable and happy to compromise in games that he plays.

Emily

Emily found it a little tricky to settle into Parrots Class at the beginning of the year with all of the changes from Reception to Year 1. But since then she has really started to come out of her shell, putting her hand up more, joining in with group activities and sharing stories with the adults in the class. It is lovely to see Emily coming into school each day with a smile on her face now, ready to face the fun and challenges of the day! Well done, Emily - we’re so proud of you.

Erik

Erik started the year in yellow group for RWI and was finding it a little challenging to settle back into the routines. Over the last few weeks he has really shone and worked hard to get back into the swing of things, as well as helping those around him when they find it tricky. He has produced some lovely writing and worked hard to improve his handwriting too which is a great example to his peers too. Keep up the hard work, Erik. I’m so happy to see your resilience!

LKS2

Chloe

Chloe found the start of Year 4 a little tricky; there were changes such as different teachers, different children and a different classroom and sometimes these things can unsettle us all, until we get used to them. Chloe has been a real role model to others in how she has approached her worries. She talks with trusted adults, tries her very best and I am pleased to say I am now always greeted with a big smile; I know Chloe is really enjoying Year 4. Well done Chloe for overcoming your worries and proving that you can do anything with a positive mindset!

Jenson

Jenson has had a brilliant start to Year 4! His attitude towards his learning is excellent and I have been so impressed to see him apply a ‘can do’ attitude to any tricky tasks he comes up against. Jenson works very hard with Miss Clark to further develop his reading and whilst this is not always easy; he has made tremendous progress and can always be relied upon to approach each and every task with a smile upon his face! Well done Jenson, we are all very proud of you.

Sam

Well done to Sam for putting his all into his learning! Sam has really impressed me with how quickly he has settled into Year 3. Over the past few weeks, he has grown in confidence and has shown a positive mindset, not just in his learning but also in social situations. Sam is beginning to understand the importance of talking about things he finds tricky and finding solutions, which is excellent. Keep up the good work!

Flynn

Moving into KS2 can be a little bit of a jump from KS1, but Flynn has shown his resilience and settled in really well to life in Year 3. I am so proud of Flynn and his ability to talk about his worries - something that some of us find difficult to do! This has helped Flynn focus on his learning and be the happy, smiley boy that he is. Well done Flynn!

Poppy

Poppy was feeling anxious at the prospect of moving into Lower Key Stage 2. However, since she has arrived in the Key Stage she has been amazing! She has shown resilience and has settled into life in a new key stage so well. It is lovely to see her playing an active role in lessons and trying so hard with the work that has been set for her. Well done Poppy!

Hendrix

Hendrix has had an incredible start to life in Lower Key Stage 2. He has formed lovely relationships with the people in his class and always has valuable contributions to make to the lessons that we are learning. He has grown in confidence to tackle work independently and will ask for help if he needs it. Well done Hendrix, we are so proud of you!

UKS2

Alana

Alana found the transition into year 5 a little bit tricky, with many of her close friends moving schools at the end of year 4. At the start of September, Alana was cautious about putting her hand up or asking her teachers for help. Fast forward to the end of the half term and Alana’s confidence has grown two-fold! Alana is much more comfortable in approaching adults and has settled into a lovely friendship group with whom she loves to spend time with at playtime. Well done for showing perseverance to settling into year 5, Alana. I can’t wait to see your confidence flourish even more.

Imogen

Imogen’s attitude towards her PE learning has really impressed me this half term. We have been learning to play tag rugby, which has a slightly confusing rule… we have to pass the ball backwards, not forwards! Many children have struggled to follow this but Imogen has made it her mission to ensure herself, as well as her teammates, play the game correctly. Imogen has also been really vocal in asking questions to ensure that she understands the tactics needed to win a game. With her motivation and inquisitive nature, Imogen has become a strong (and speedy!) tag rugby player.

Maria

Hawks Class have found some of the techniques we need for tag rugby quite confusing this half term. During these tricky moments, Maria has taken the lead in her group to direct them on where they need to focus their efforts. Rather than give up at the exercise, Maria can be heard telling her team how they could improve, and what they need to work on, to improve and get better. Maria has brought resilience and determination to all of her PE lessons this year and has encouraged others to do the same.

Evan

Evan has been an extremely determined reader this half term. His reading level allows him to choose extremely long chapter books from the library. Each day, I see that Evan is further through his books and every spare moment he has is spent trying to read just one more page! Well done Evan - your determination to work through longer, trickier texts will pay off!

Eliza

Eliza always demonstrates a quiet, yet strong resilience when facing challenges in her learning. She wants to be the best she can be and enjoys sharing her learning with her teachers. When recently given a target in respect of her handwriting, she immediately took this on board and was so proud to show her teacher the improvement in this between the beginning of the week and her new efforts. Well done Eliza - your strength and resilience will take you far!

William

William has had a really positive start to the year and has already had to demonstrate resilience in many areas of his learning. I have been particularly impressed with his self-understanding of areas in Mathematics he would like to better himself at. He has worked hard at these and can see his efforts already beginning to pay off - it’s been lovely to see your smile when you mark your work and see all those green ticks! Keep persevering in all areas of your learning, William - well done!
