this new term



Each
New Term
Is an opportunity
To learn and grow
To put previous screw ups behind us...
Seek to understand a little more, be less quick to judge,
Be wiser, kinder, more compassionate,
A better friend, a better colleague,
Try our best to make the most of opportunities
That are offered up
(Noticing some more of them would be a start).
We must endeavour to keep a sense of wonder alive and intact
As we discover new things about ourselves,
Our subjects, the school and the wider world.
Gandhi said: Be the change you want to see in the world
Perhaps before we can do that
We must work on being the change
We’d want to see in our school...
Perhaps each term is a challenge
To show we are capable of being that.

(Otis, Laurence's teddy. Please keep your poems coming... you know you want to... oh this is Monday's poem I'm publishing late on Sunday in case I don't have time... time, now there's a topic for a poem).
