Year 3B checked in to see how they were getting on with their goal to carry out little acts of leadership. Well done to the children who have returned their booklets and shared how they felt during the challenge.
We thought about what qualities our super hero leader would have. We thought about what our super hero mission would be.
Encourage others to recycle, smile at others or help to keep the environment tidy,
Today we have our session with Chris Reddy. Y3G brought their community leadership challenge booklet back and we talked about how they felt when they had completed their different tasks. Today our focus was , ‘ How you can live life like a superhero?’ We talked about different superheroes and how they help the community. We learned that all of us are superheroes and have superpowers. Then we gave ourselves our superhero name, describe our job and mission in the life on a poster that we will complete in next workshop.
Today, Year 3 Blue were able to share some of their leadership skills with parents and talked further about what makes a great leader. Leaders must be good communicators, be able to manage their time, be resilient, be fair and be able to use their initiative.
The children works in team and pairs to complete a task which required them to listen to instructions carefully.
The children have been set a challenge to complete little acts of leadership at various levels over the next 2 weeks: they must try to do various acts at a personal, household and community level. Ask an adult to tick off when you have completed a task and return the booklet to school by the 10th March. Let’s see what we can achieve as leaders!
Today, Year 3 Blue prepared for their upcoming workshop with Bright Leaders where adults from home will be able to join them to see how they have been developing their leadership skills.
They practised leading a task and projecting their voices.
The children worked together to solve problems and discussed using initiative.
Y3G had their session with Chris Reddy- Bright Leaders this afternoon. We practised our listening, communication and cooperation skills. We have done a play- dough activity in pairs. We started with planning time. In our session we focused on levelling up with our leadership skills. We learned about strategic thinking and effective communication.
This afternoon in our PHSE lesson we talked about respecting differences and how each of us are unique in our own way.
Year 3 played a game of Human bingo and went round the class to see who had Blue eyes, who wears glasses who is left handed etc.
During PSHE last week, Y2G talked about New Year’s traditions in different countries and discovered how a new year starts at different times in different countries due to their time zones. We talked about how we celebrate in the UK and watched the fireworks from London’s 2025/26 celebrations. We ended our lesson by singing and dancing to Auld Lang Syne and writing down our New Years resolutions.
This week’s ’Hummingbird project workshop’ Y3G focused on ‘being kind and thankful’. We counted our blessings and wrote them down as sometimes we can feel sad and frustrated that we don’t have as many nice things as the people around us. We also made a ‘Thank You’ card for someone ‘special’ in our lives who’s always there to help and support us.
During this week’s Hummingbird Project workshop, we learned to identify our character strengths. We had to narrow down our many strengths to just 5. Some of us chose humour, forgiving, grateful, considerate and creative to name a few. We are always developing and building on our strengths.
