This Week in the Pre-Prep Happy Hub
In the Pre-Prep Happy Hub this week, Bob the Minion joined a small group of Year 1 and Year 2 children to talk about strengths and goals.
Bob shared that he’s great at football but hopes to improve his rugby skills - and his maths!
The children then spent time reflecting on their own strengths. During a creative activity, they filled the leaves of a large paper tree with all the things they’re good at, both in and out of school: rugby, painting, swimming, maths, and more. They were delighted to see just how many talents they already have.
Next, they looked at areas they’d like to develop. Around the outside of the tree, they added drawings and words showing what they’d like to get better at, such as tennis and art.
Finally, the children offered Bob thoughtful strategies for improving his rugby and maths skills - ideas like practising regularly, trying again, not giving up, and learning from mistakes.
Mrs Sheriff was impressed by the children’s enthusiasm and their wonderful growth mindset.
