At Strawberry Fields Primary School we are looking forward to an exciting school year in 2016-17. Already, our classes are working hard to match the high expectations we will be setting for them. This year we will be continuing the work we have done in school on Growth Mindsets, with the aim of giving our children a ‘Toolkit for Learning’ – a set of skills, a way of thinking and an enthusiasm for learning they can carry with them through their entire educational life and beyond.
If you are interested in learning more about ‘Growth Mindsets’, please see the attached links or ask your child’s class teacher. We will explore Growth Mindsets further across the course of the year, including at this year’s ‘Inspire’ events.
These links explain some key ideas related to the Growth Mindset:
