Y2 were straight into writing coastal setting descriptions for their cold write this morning. This is the beginning of their brand new topic ‘Coastlines’.
Mrs Swanson led a whole school assembly this morning really getting us to think and challenge ourselves linked to our vision of Think BIG…Dream BIG.. Go for it and our aspirations for 2023 !! It was a super start to our New Year at Bede Burn.
We thought about our main words linked to our vision for this term which are ‘aspire’ and ‘inspire’. The children thought about some people who have inpired them such as Neil Armstrong, Christiano Ronaldo and Greta Thunberg. The children were given a task by Mrs Swanson this week to develop their own aspiration dream jar. Some of these will be added to our hall display.
Thank you Mrs Swanson for leading such a fab assembly and really challenging us regarding our aspirations for this coming year.
