From a Mum:
Hi Sue, just wanted to say thank you so much for the Can Do Kid journal. I ordered it for Katie as soon as possible, it arrived Saturday morning and Katie could not wait to start filling it in. She remembers the activities we did when we came to see you. It is a great way to reinforce the lessons from the Confidence Classes. Thank you again for everything you do. Nicola
From a Learning Mentor:
I’m Fiona and I’m the Senior Learning Mentor across the Federation, my main base being at Arbourthorne. I have really enjoyed using the journals with my group of Y5’s, the children have been so keen and enthusiastic and ask me daily if we are meeting to see what’s coming up next! I have to say that the journals have taught me so much about the children individually. – F Smith, Arbouthorne School, Sheffield
