Our Vision For 2014

Today we reflected on the first half of 2014 and have begun looking forward to the rest of the year. We thought about many aspects of our learning and our personal growth. We discussed some questions that made us think carefully about ourselves and we had others give us feedback on our responses. We also learned about the difference between a fixed-mindset and a growth-mindset.

After some honest discussions, we went away and planned out a pathway (literally) for the rest of the year. The video shows how this looks, but the main idea was that we were answering four questions...
1. What skills and attitudes do you really need to develop?
2. How do you want to be thought of by others at school (your peers and teachers)?
3. On the last day of school, how do you want to feel about your year and what memories do you want to have?
4. Year 5: What responsibilities do you want to have in year 6? Year 6: How do you want to be remembered at Bromley School?

We will be referring to our work today when we plan and evaluate our weekly goals. How might today affect the decisions we make?

Sharing Our Home Learning

We shared our home learning for the term this afternoon. At the beginning of term we each received a list of possible open-ended tasks/projects that we could attempt. These spanned across several curriculum areas, while also giving us a chance to design personal interest projects.

It was great for many of us to share our own learning today, but it was also interesting to discover what direction others had taken with theirs.
