BELIEF  IN  LEARNING  FOR  LIFE.

BELIEF  IN OURSELVES

WE  GIVE  IT  A  GO.

WE  ARE  EXCELLENT  WHEN:

*WE  TRY OUR  BEST  IN  OUR  LEARNING

*WE  ACHIEVE  HIGH  SCORES

*WE  WORK  NEATLY  AND  PRESENT  WORK  TO  A  HIGH 

STANDARD

WE  FEEL PROUD,EXCITED AND  HAPPY  WHEN  WE  ARE

                                             EXCELLENT!

S stands for skills:

WE  SHOW  SKILLS  WHEN  WE:

*LISTEN  CAREFULLY  TO  THE  TEACHER

*PRACTICE  WHAT  WE  HAVE  LEARNT  TO  GET  BETTER

*KNOW  WE  CAN  DO  IT!

WHEN  WE  USE  OUR  SKILLS  WE  FEEL

 GLOWING  AND  PROUD  OF OUR 

                                  ACHIEVEMENTS.

T stands for thoughtfulness.

THOUGHTFULNESS IS :             

MAKING  THE  RIGHT  CHOICES

HELPING   OTHERS

THINKING  ABOUT  OUR  LEARNING

THINKING  "OUTSIDE   THE   BOX"

PUTTING  OURSELVES IN  SOMEONE  ELSE'S

SHOES

CHECKING  WHETHER  I  HAVE  DONE  THE 

RIGHT  THING

IS NOT:

BEING  MEAN  WHEN  SOMEONE  NEEDS  HELP

SHOUTING OUT

BEING  SELFISH

"We  are on  the  right track  when  we  are thoughtful!"
