Hello February
Hello February
February is a month to keep growing as learners and as members of our school community. We’ll build our character by showing resilience and taking responsibility for our learning, especially when things feel challenging. By working collaboratively and communicating clearly, we’ll share ideas, listen thoughtfully and achieve more together.
There will be lots of opportunities to think critically, solve problems and approach tasks creatively, trying different strategies and learning from mistakes along the way. As active and thoughtful citizens of our school, we’ll continue to show kindness, respect and care for the world around us.

Schools across the UK are invited to take part in the RSPB Big Schools’ Birdwatch 2026, the world’s largest school wildlife survey.
Organised by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), this free annual event gives pupils the chance to become citizen scientists by spending one hour observing and counting birds in their school grounds. The data collected helps conservationists monitor bird populations and understand how species are faring over time.
All participating schools receive access to a range of curriculum-linked resources to support learning before, during and after the event.

The Meta -skills
The Meta -skills
As learners move into upper primary, they begin to explore Meta- skills, which build on and align with the 6 C’s. Both frameworks highlight the essential skills and qualities young people need for learning, life, and work.
The three groups of MetaSkills are:
🧑🎓 Self-management – skills like focusing, adapting, taking initiative, and showing integrity.
🤝 Social intelligence – skills like communicating, collaborating, showing empathy, and leading.
💡 Innovation – skills like creativity, curiosity, critical thinking, and sense-making.
Together, the 6 C’s and MetaSkills reinforce one another helping learners to think, create, connect, and adapt. The more they are practiced, the stronger they become.
