We created our own unique, colourful dots, which are now proudly displayed in our classroom. This week, we reread the book in story time and talked about how its message can help us when we face something that feels difficult or unfamiliar.

We thought about resilience, perseverance and having a positive attitude towards challenges. Together, we came up with some special phrases to remind us that we can keep going when things get tricky, including “I can do it,” “We are resilient,” and “I will keep trying.”

We hope these messages will become something we can carry with us throughout Year 1, whether we are learning something new, making a mistake or trying something that feels a little challenging. 

We are excited to see all the marks, big and small, that we will make throughout our Year 1 journey!

We hope you have all had a lovely summer holiday and are feeling ready for an exciting year ahead.

We are looking forward to getting to know you all and watching you learn and grow throughout the year. We can’t wait to discover new things, play, explore and have lots of fun!

We have so many exciting adventures planned, and we are looking forward to seeing all the wonderful work and fantastic ideas you will produce this year.
