The document discusses Darwin Values Awards, which recognize children in the UK who demonstrate certain principles through their actions. The awards have multiple categories and levels that children can progress through from nursery through 6th grade. Each half term, the school focuses on one of the Darwin Principles, such as stickability and relationships, to help children develop important life skills and evolve into responsible citizens.

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…
Stickability and
Relationships!
