Over this week, the class have responded amazingly well to what has been asked of them. I have been impressed by both outstanding writing and artwork. These are talented children!
But the best part of the week was their response to our annual house captain elections. Naturally, not everyone wanted the job, but I had asked them to think of qualities and to supply relevant questions if they did not want to stand for election. The speeches, presentations and probing questions were a testament to their reflective abilities and their excellent attitude. It was a reminder-a very timely one- that if you want high standards there is no alternative to expecting them.
So, I am resolved to return next week to take more chances and to expect more not just from the class but also from the experiences I offer. I have every confidence they can deliver.
