Middle School
We have two classes in Middle School at Small Haven – Attenborough and Keller.
Attenborough Class
“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself…”
Attenborough Class is named after the inspirational Sir David Attenborough. There are lots of reasons why Sir David is such an inspiration to us, but one of the main reasons is that Sir David has done more than almost any other person to help millions of us understand and appreciate the wonders of the world around us.
Attenborough Class is a small class taught by Mrs Holden and supported by TA’s Sally & Kim .
As a class, we chose the following 7 values that our class is built on: Determination, Creativity, Kindness, Openness, Adventure, Compassion & Fun.
Keller Class
“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence”.
Keller Class is located within the Middle School at Small Haven. Named after the inspirational Helen Keller, who overcame significant sensory challenges to succeed in her learning and development, this class promotes a ‘can do’ attitude to both academic and social challenges.
We actively use the Growth Mindset philosophy to think more positively about areas we may find difficult in our learning and are supportive and caring towards one another. We like to have fun and work together to create fun and interesting learning experiences that we can all enjoy.
Keller class teacher is Mrs Tolfree supported by our TA Sam.
