Alex is our learner of the term.

Alex is a pleasure to teach because she strives to be the best that she can be every day.

Alex is always eager to learn new knowledge and understands that to enable her light to shine she needs to listen carefully and be prepared to challenge herself to further her learning. 

During Maths, Alex contributes to class discussion, using mathematical vocabulary to explain her reasoning and she regularly shows compassion by supporting other members in the class.  Alex regularly finishes the work she has been given but instead of sitting and waiting to be told what to do next, she independently starts the Maths challenges which demonstrates her commitment to learning and sometimes involves a great deal of perseverance when the answer is not always easy to find.

If you enjoy story time, then Alex comes highly recommended by Willow Class.  She recently read George’s Marvellous Medicine to the class, which all of Willow Class even the adults enjoyed listening to.  Alex read with great enthusiasm, changing her voice for each character, and changing the speed and volume to keep us all thoroughly entertained. 

Not only can Alex read well but she is also very good at writing herself.  Alex has produced some outstanding pieces of writing, including expanded noun phrases, fronted adverbials, colons and so much more!

In the playground and during our P.E lessons, Alex has shown good leadership and team qualities such as communication, empathy and respect for others when organising games and playing as part of a team.

Alex, Mrs McConnel, and I are very proud to say that you are a member of our class, you truly deserve learner of the term.  Well done, keep up the hard work!
