Apologies if you follow our blog and may have thought we had stopped posting. That is partly true I haven't posted for a while. After the Summer hols I had fully intended to try and maintain a weekly post but starting a new academic year in terms of the original Bearing Up project means embedding the core elements I have previously shared with other classes and teachers/schools I've work with in the past. I didn't want to just show you more of the same.

It was an absolute privilege to be invited along to Ruby’s Reading Room - SCIO event. It was lovely to meet everyone, make new connections and of course meet all the children and have the opportunity to share Bearing Up. 🧸💕

As we head towards the end of this academic year I am taking time to reflect on my own ‘Bearing Up’ Journey this year… I moved to a new setting/school and took on the role of mentor to 2 fantastic newly qualified teachers. It has been a privilege to work with them and watch them grow and introduce Bearing Up to their classes!

We were so sad and invested in this story… we knew our Bearing Up Community had to do something!

Apologies for those following it's been a few weeks since my last update. (Lots going on in the background 🤪💕) But here is a wee share from a school in Kirriemuir that are using our flexible nursery to P1 transition project. (It's a 6 to 8 week project. Get in touch if you'd like a free copy!) 

Courage is a choice not a feeling. It is taking action despite fear rather than the absence of fear. 💪🧸💖

For National Poetry Day, our P2 class created their own Poem about their Bear, Benny! 💖🧸

After heading back into the infant classes, I was thinking about the self registration ‘Fizzy Feelings Chart’ I did with one of my previous classes. I have come up with a more infant friendly version for P1 - P3.

Having universally shared school values are important. It creates a strong learning environment that enhances attainment and develops our pupils’ social and (emotional) relationship skills for life.
