Keenan 

During Buddies last week you displayed your resilience by joining your year 5/6 buddies in a get to know you activity, even when you felt shy talking to new people. I'm very proud of you for having a go even when it felt scary. Well done Keenan, keep up the great effort!

Ethan

For being a motivated learner in all lessons last week. Ethan got on with his work independently and listened carefully to all directions.  He chose to invest in his work doing his best and then a little bit more.  What a great example of using the engagement continuum to lift your work. Keep up the wonderful work Ethan.

Keep up the fabulous work, and thank you for showing us how to be a kind person Chase.
