The Year 5 and 6 children took part in the Tower Hamlets Junior Citizenship Scheme that coincided really well with our Safety Week.  It took place in the Shadwell fire station where the children got the opportunity to learn citizenship and life skills with agencies such as Met Police Service, London Fire Brigade, London Ambulance Service and Transport for London to name just a few. The children took part in interactive scenarios that taught strategies for leading a safer and more responsible lifestyle. The children came back with lots of new skills and aspirations of joining these agencies that help keep people safe.

Growth mindset at Buttercup

As part of the school’s values of the week, we introduced the children to the term ‘Growth mindset’. A growth mindset occurs when we believe our intelligence and abilities can be improved with effort and the right strategies. A willingness to confront challenges, a passion for learning, and viewing failure as a springboard for growth are all characteristics associated with a growth mindset. The children learnt about the difference between having a growth mindset and a fixed mindset. They all agreed that having a growth mindset was the way to!
