At Southmead we believe in nurturing the children’s skills for life.  We encourage and develop the following learning characteristics which the children will use in their school life and beyond.  They are as follows;

 

• Reflection

• Reasoning

• Resourcefulness

• Responsibility

• Resilience

 

They are known as our 5Rs and each one links to a character in Winnie the Pooh with related stories.  

Our teachers plan opportunities for the children’s acquisition of these skills within lessons.
