| GRATITUDE |
To have an attitude of gratitude. |
Everyone is involved in fostering gratitude; courtesy of saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ is automatic; all recognise moments daily for which they are thankful; being truly ‘present’ (not being distracted by the next thing); treating all as honoured guest at the banqueting-table of ourselves; giving freely and thankfully our time. |
| LOVE |
To know why and how to safeguard our environment. |
Renewed urgency given to ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’; all can explain what ‘Carbon Net Zero’ means; we know how to conserve, not only energy but our biosphere; campaign to persuade every one of the immediacy of crisis; Gift Days planned and delivered to support theme; environmental champions identified. |
| SERVE |
To quality assure what we do to do the best we can. |
Gaps recovered in children’s experience; children ‘catch-up’ with age-appropriate learning; Research Lesson Studies embed pedagogy; children remember, build-on new learning and keep; practitioners investigate feedback; coordinators quality assure through scrutiny, moderation, knowledge tests & assessments. |
| HEAL |
To learn to read, read to learn and write to share. |
Every child knows the purpose of reading and writing; every new context begins by sharing a book; have books about each context; all appreciate our curriculum is a tiny slither of endless learning; introduce children to fiction inspired by contexts; children experiment with writing from their knowledge & experience. |
| BLESS |
To gain resilience in learning, by valuing its worth, making an effort and recognising achievement. |
Children ‘play’ with new learning; all recognise being wrong is not high-stakes; realising the worth of knowing, children practice – effort alters outcomes; all ‘give-it-a-go’; children recognise learning as a journey; adults demonstrate learning techniques & encourage deliberate practice; children improve long-term memory. |
