Our Class assembly this week is about a diligent character called Mrs Cole from the book “I’ll Take You to Mrs Cole!” by Michael Foreman.  We are acting out the story to show the importance of being diligent.  

We want to share with everyone how good it is to take care of each other, work hard and help people around us.  

As sisters, we try very hard to do these things and Ruth enjoys being a part of the Rights Respecting Team to lead ideas about rights and responsibilities.

At our school we talk about values that are important to us.  Values mean a lot as they help us to be more confident about growing up and how to face a changing world.  

Values make us stop and think and try to make us better people.

This term we have been thinking about ‘diligence’.  It means working hard and putting in much care and effort.  In whole-school assemblies we have learnt about the work of Marie Curie and her determination to succeed even when things were tough for her.  We found out about the artist Seurat and how he took over twenty years to complete a painting and get it right.
