PRIDE Fortnightly Focus - Perserverance
This week in Flocktime we discussed how we show Perseverance when we discussed: How to get out of the Dip.
We watched the Video and learned how Katie got out of the Dip - She learnt to reflect on her mistakes and have another go.
Children are looking out for ways that they can help one another to get out of the Dip.
