Welcome to Tremendous Turtles!

Mrs North year 5/6

We are READY, SAFE and RESPECTFUL

We show this by:

• Being ready to learn 
• Listening to people who are talking
• Looking after school property and resources
• Following instruction and direction 
• Having a go and trying our best
• Walking around school
• Being kind 
• Learning how to resolve conflict

Learning Pit

At Long Row, we encourage independence in learning through resources, growth mindset (I can't ... yet), encouraging perseverance, resilience and having a go, making mistakes and trying again. Children need not worry if they don't get it or understand, that is the process of learning and facilitation, scaffold and support will be given as many times as needed! Sometimes, I may ask children to have a go at home or practise strategies not grasped. 

In short, have a go, think about what you can use to help you and enjoy the journey! 

PE

For the first Summer term, PE will consist of:

Monday - Orienteering (both year groups)

Please ensure your child wears their PE uniform, which consists of their usual white school top, navy jumper, joggers and trainers suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

Hair needs to be tied back and earrings and other jewellery removed at home please.
