Learning life in Cnicht
Laugh, Learn, Live
What on Earth is that sound? A guitar?
We had a bit of a surprise to find a rockstar playing in our school hall. A LOST ROCKSTAR! His name was Andrew and he was meant to play with his band but he somehow ended up playing in our school. Instead of rushing off he played for us and answered lots of our questions. This got us THINKING! What a brave, confident and hard thing he just did.
Can we be brave?
Can we be confident?
Can we do hard things?
What can we learn and master?
What skills can we build on that we already have?
Is there anything we would love to do that our teachers and peers can help us with?
Is there anything we can SHINE at?
Check back in to find out what we discover we can do!
Can we all SHINE LIKE STARS in our chosen experience?
