“Amazing!”
“Awesome!”
“Can’t wait for next year.”
and
“We got to walk around the school on our own.”
These were just a few of the comments I heard after the two fabulous transitions days our current Year 6 cohort just had.
On the first day the children were able to taste what secondary life would be like and conducted themselves in a mature way with nothing but praise from all the teachers they met. The English department arranged a very interesting and tasty lesson and during their Science lessons children were able to create and hold fireballs!
The fun continued on the second day where the children were able to spend a day with our Year 12 students, asking them questions about secondary life and creating a sustainability campaign which they are ready to roll out next year to all the children in the school. I have to admit I am not a great fan of rap music but even I had my head bopping to the ‘Oak Sustainably Rap song’.
Overall, two fantastic days which I hope was informative as well as fun to the children and I know for sure they will all be a great asset to the Secondary School next year.

It’s something I’ve believed for a long time — that learning isn’t predetermined by our genes. It’s about growing, persevering, and learning through the process. I was really mindful of this idea at this week’s wonderful Primary Summer Concert, after which I found myself reflecting on whether these amazing children have an innate talent, or whether they have achieved so much because of hard work and practice.
I believe it’s the latter. These children, their parents, and their teachers all seem to share the belief that by trying and working hard, they will get better at what they do. This is what we call a growth mindset.
