British Values & our value for the month
To further support our School Values and our promotion of 'British Values', we think about and celebrate one of our 22 values each month, often linking them with different events and festivals, both locally and around the world.
We look at the value in assembly and in class and we aim to ‘live’ that value in the way we work with others in school.
In February 2024 our value is... love
Learning about love
At school, we have talked to the children about demonstrating love for others through positive thoughts and actions. We have discussed how love is about caring for other people and being considerate of their feelings, sharing with others successfully, listening to others, celebrating their successes and encouraging them in a spirit of good teamwork.
We are asking parents/carers at home to send in a note if they think their child has engaged with this month’s value – love. We will celebrate some of their achievements in assembly (if they are happy with this). Examples might be:
-
Showing particular care for another person in their family
-
Showing care and consideration for pets in their care
-
Sharing something they value with another person.
-
Taking pride in and celebrating the achievements of a sibling or of a friend.
-
Putting the wishes of another person before their own.
