Growth Mindset. (Health and Well-being).
With Growth Mindset being a key issue for PPS, particularly looking at Resilience and better life skills to help both in and out of school…..here are some more resources. Big Deal Little Deal has already been shared after being introduced in school…have a look and see the little video and post explaining it for the kids and ourselves.
Growth Mindset pocket book for Staff and others. (This can also be purchased from Amazon if you fancy using it more yourself as some parents are now doing).
And another wonderful video which explains a lot of Growth Mindset, ‘in action’.

Pencilympics Raises Money for LEPRA
The Primary 3 stationery shop ‘Pencilympics’ has been running for the last 4 weeks. Having paid for our stock, we made a profit of £38. The classes decided they would like to donate this to LEPRA.
Thank you to everyone who supported the shop.
Problem Solving in P3 with the help of P6
Primary 3 have been problem solving this afternoon. The P6 children created their own problem solving activities which the P3 children have been trying to do. P3 really enjoyed it – thank you P6.
Euro 2012 next …..
Today all of P3 went to Tranent to take part in a football festival. Half the children played 5-a-side games whilst the other half took part in practices. They then all swapped over.
Everyone had a great time.
