Bolton School Primary Division Junior Boys’ School Wednesday 11th January
Spring Term, 2023 — WEEK A
Happy New Year, welcome back and a very warm welcome to our new boys and their families. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and your boys were happy to return to school.
Wednesday 11th January Y6 Hajj Workshops (afternoon) Swim Development Club (by invitation), 4-5pm Cubs, 6.30pm
As we start a new year, it is a chance for the school and the boys to look back at the year gone by. What did we achieve? What could we improve? How can we improve? In our assemblies, we discussed the boys’ previous achievements and how these had been achieved. We identified common approaches in which we had achieved prior success: perseverance, passion, purpose, planning and practice. What goals do we have for 2023? How can we achieve these? We discussed setting SMART targets; being specific about the goal, making sure you can measure what you have set out to do. Is the goal achievable? Is it relevant to what you do on a day to day basis and have you set time constraints? All of these can help us to achieve our goals. In the coming weeks, we will be working with the boys on goals and targets in school but we would encourage you to set some goals at home, as a family. What can be achieved in a year? We’d love to hear about your endeavours outside of school- perhaps we can share your stories in assemblies or the newsletter? School Uniform Shop
