On Friday 22 of February, Cameron Brown of Explore Discover Act came to facilitate a day of LEADERSHIP with Year 6.  He explained that if we never step out of our ‘comfort zone’ we will never try anything or do anything. He read a really interesting poem “It’s not the critic that counts” by Theodore Roosevelt. It was about someone saying they could have done better than someone else. We see this type of gossip and criticism all the time in the news as well as in our daily lives. Criticism can have a very negative impact, we need to learn to rise above it.

The day also consisted of lots of group activities that challenged us and made us problem solvers.

One idea I will take away from the day is “Leaders are builders, we don’t fix, we build with others by our side.”

Year 6 can’t wait to put all we learned into action this year.
