6. Darwin Principles
• Each half term we focus on one of the Darwin
Principles.
• The principle is introduced during assembly
and the children complete more work during
‘Darwin Day.’
• However, we like the children to remember
that principle and apply it throughout their
time at school.

7. This half-term we are looking at…
Bouncebackability
and going for goals!
Represents building the
capacity to bounce back from a
setback. Resilience,
overcoming failure
