Learning Superheroes - Resilient Roo Spring 1

EYFS

Summer 

Summer is such a happy and positive child who enters the nursery each day with a cheery smile. She approaches nursery life with a ‘can do’ attitude and makes the most of her session by exploring a range of activities and areas. Summer shows that she is a good friend and role model to all by playing fairly and avoiding conflict. Well done Summer for being such a lovely member of the class!

Alfie 

Alfie really enjoys coming to nursery and is a very active learner; choosing to participate in many different activities. He tries hard to follow an activity through to the end and is always pleased with his efforts and outcomes. It has been great to see Alfie trying so hard to develop his fine motor and writing skills, particularly at home. Well done Alfie!

Zara 

Zara loves to take part in so many different activities, particularly drawing and colouring. She has worked so hard with her fine motor skills and does her best to transfer this into her handwriting. This has been a little more tricky although Zara has persevered to form the letters in her name and also the letter ‘t’ and can now do this correctly. Keep working hard Zara. We know you can do it!

Kaylan 

Kaylan loves to learn and takes in all the information that is shared with him. Throughout the year so far, he has shown great skills in phonics; learning the sounds and making a great effort to blend sounds to read words. He has made great efforts to also ‘sight’ read words, persevering until he can read them correctly. Well done Kaylan!

Heath 

Heath is a quiet boy by nature and has occasionally found it tricky to speak in front of the class. He has also struggled with his fine motor control to form letters. Heath has persevered in both areas and his confidence has grown to talk to the adults and his peers, sharing lots of information about his interests and his learning, inside and outside of school. Heath has worked hard with his handwriting during phonics sessions. We are proud of what you are achieving.

Beau 

Beau is a quiet, sweet little girl. She used to feel a little anxious to participate fully during phonics sessions and lacked confidence. Beau is now confident enough to use a big voice when joining in with speed sounds which is wonderful to see. Beau has made huge progress in phonics. Well done Beau. 

KS1

Ilaria 

Ilaria can sometimes be a little reserved and quiet in lessons, often reluctant to put her hand up even if she knows the answer. However over the last half term it has been wonderful to see her including herself in class discussions more regularly and becoming more willing to share her thoughts and ideas with Parrots Maths group as well as during our Read Write Inc sessions too. It is really lovely to see Ilaria’s confidence in her own ability grow and it has been a pleasure to have her in my lessons. Well done, Ilaria.  

Riley 

Riley can sometimes find focusing on his learning a little tricky but I have been blown away by his building resilience this half term, particularly with his handwriting and recording his ideas. Where before he could be reluctant to give things a go, recently he has been a lot more willing to try activities and push himself more often. His attitude to learning has improved and all the adults in Ks1 have seen a massive change in his outlook. His perseverance and positivity is shining through! Keep up the hard work, Riley.  

Benjamin P

Benjamin has never found it easy coming into school since he started in Penguins class but we are now in a place where he is much happier coming into school and now most mornings arrives with a smile on his face, ready for the day ahead. Benjamin is also getting much better with the routines at the end of the day where he has always wanted to be first out of the door but is now starting to be more flexible with this.

Benjamin C

Benjamin has become much more settled with the routines and expectations of KS1. At the start of the year we would have to think about organising Benjamin’s work within lessons into smaller chunks throughout the day as he wasn’t too keen on settling down in a classroom to do it for longer periods of time. Benjamin is now staying in a full Read Write Inc sessions completing partner practise and writing activities alongside his peers.

Mike 

After having an operation on his tummy Mike has found it challenging joining in with P.E and has been a little bit hesitant. However, I am so proud of how resilient Mike is now being despite feeling anxious. He has continued to try his best and last week made the most amazing gymnastics routine with a friend. Well done Mike keep up the good work!

Archie 

Archie epitomises resiliency through his attitude to get better at things including football which he loves but also the things which he doesn’t always love as much and can find more challenging but knows are important. I am so proud of you Archie; keep it up!

LKS2

Ella 

Ella has worked very hard in her sessions with Miss Clark and is beginning to develop in confidence within her lessons. We can all find things tricky sometimes and Ella is beginning to recognise that perseverance and believing in herself is so important. She was able to discuss some excellent story ideas in response to our reading of ‘The Wild Way Home’. Well done, Ella!

Dani 

Dani works with interest and determination in his Maths lessons and is always very quick to find the answer. Dani has recognised that sometimes we need to explain our thinking and our methods in Maths to show our understanding and he has worked very hard on this, despite finding this difficult. Well done Dani, you are really growing in confidence and have made some really excellent progress. All the adults in LKS2 are so proud of you!

Aayat

Sharing your ideas with others can sometimes be a bit tricky and can make us feel anxious. However, Aayat has continually pushed herself outside of her comfort zone this term! She has contributed more in class, helped others and even stood in front of the school to perform her Ambassador speech. Aayat, I am so impressed with your resilience and determination - you are a superstar! 

Jasper  

Jasper has worked super hard in all of his lessons this term and it is so great to see him thriving and enjoying his learning! Although he can find writing a little tricky sometimes, Jasper has adapted and used different tools, such as the Chromebooks, to help him write and share his ideas. As a result of Jasper’s adaptability and resilience in writing, he has created fantastic pieces of work - especially in our Science lessons! Well done Jasper!

Sonny 

Sonny has such a positive attitude to all of his learning and a real ‘can do’ attitude.  PE is a lesson that he absolutely loves and I am so proud of the resilience and determination that he shows when learning new skills.  When he was selected to represent the school in a gymnastics competition, there was one of the skills that he was finding tricky.  He has been practising, both in and out of school, and is getting better everyday.  Well done Sonny … Miss Klausner and I are so proud of you!

Caoimhe 

Caoimhe has been working so hard in all of our lessons.  She listens carefully and will always try her best.  In Maths recently, we have been doing some really tricky division work and when we first started, Caoimhe was finding some of the learning tough.  However, she didn’t give up, she kept trying and trying, using the resources in the classroom to help her, until she got it! She was so proud of herself and I was so proud of her too.  What a superstar Caoimhe!!

UKS2

Amelia 

In a recent art lesson, Amelia demonstrated a fierce resilience when making a tinfoil sculpture. When scrunching the tinfoil together to make body parts, many children found that they were too harsh with the material and ended up ripping their creations - Amelia included. After a brief upset, Amelia was able to tackle the task head on (with help from her peers) and ended the lesson with a giant grin on her face and a brilliant tinfoil sculpture in her hand. Well done, Amelia!

Reuben 

Reading is not something that comes easily to Reuben. Despite this, the enormous effort he shows towards improving this skill has not gone unnoticed. Within reading lessons, Reuben can be seen utilising his skim and scan skills to ensure he retrieves the correct information to answer the question. Outside of lessons, Reuben is keen to read aloud to an adult every afternoon and he has made some good progress with his reading fluency as a result. Keep it up, Reuben!

Jessica 

Jessica has worked very hard this half term in maths. Some of the topics in UKS2 are very tricky and have lots of steps to them. Jessica has worked really hard to pick up lots of new methods for things like fractions, percentages and applying her times tables to questions involving decimals. Each lesson, she would be paying attention, trying her best and learning from any mistakes she made along the way. All of her hard work paid off in her assessments this half term where she showed huge progress from last time and achieved a very high mark. Well done Jessica!

Barney 

This half term, Barney has been focusing on improving his handwriting and layout of work in his books. Barney has reflected on feedback given to him by teachers about his work in his book and he has shown huge progress in his learning since September. He has even completed lots of extra handwriting practice at home which he is starting to apply in school. This extra effort and work has paid off and his work looks amazing! Keep up the hard work Barney!

Lucy 

Lucy has shown real resilience over the past half-term, particularly in her Mathematics lessons. She listens carefully in lessons, is always engaged and tries her hardest to apply her learning to tricker concepts that she comes across. This has resulted in Lucy seeing some lovely successes in her assessments - you should be proud of everything you have done so far, Lucy. Keep up the great work.

Jessica 

Jessica shows a real determination to do her best and improve her work across many subjects. In Mathematics, she shows a real drive to move on to challenges but will always take time to work out where she has made an error as she understands how important it is to learn from mistakes in order to move on. English has seen her take pride when learning her spellings and trying to apply them as best she can in all the writing opportunities across the curriculum. Well done for demonstrating this positive and engaging attitude Jessica!
