In Monday assemblies Mrs Ewart and Miss Bowen spoke about the recent disaster: Hurricane Ida had left parts of North America absolutely devastated. We know how passionately our children feel about the climate crisis and yet again, this is an example of how if we work together, these natural disasters will lessen.

On Wednesday we ‘explored’ leadership and what qualities a leader has, naturally, or can be developed. Last year we talked about Gareth Southgate, but this week, we talked about the incredible adventure of Ernest Shackleton. What an incredible leadership skills he demonstrated in a situation we can barely imagine. Find out more about Shackleton and come and show your class teacher or Ms Teagle.

We decided on some words we felt both described our PALs and Shackleton: brave, confident, self aware, understanding the feelings of others, honest, trustworthy, leading by example, a good communicator, put others first.
