Welcome everyone to Term 1 and to beautiful weather.   I do sincerely hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed the holidays whatever they were doing.

What a lovely lot of students we have in Year 8.   It is such a privilege getting to know them and I am so looking forward to doing lots of things with them this term. I was thinking about Gratitude and was looking at all the things I should be grateful for. When I got into it there was so much and so many things, people and life experiences …. I was reading that you can have a gratitude jar (which really helps create a positive mindset on days when things are just yuk!!)  to collect positive notes to yourself or to others.

“Being grateful is a really important skill for us to practise. It helps us focus on the good things in our lives rather than the hard or messy things. We can do this by filling up a gratitude jar.   You can write a note anytime and pop it in the jar and revisit it whenever you are feeling “blue”.   I think I am going to do just that.  So again, welcome to everyone and know that I am here to support you all in any way I can. Ring me at RHS on ext 122.  Have a beautiful week and smile and make someone’s day.   Cheers Pammy your PCW.
