Our School Mantra
"Be brave, be kind, work hard." At School #4, we promote a growth mindset in our students, that whatever they cannot currently do, they can work towards. Not "I can't," but "I will.....with more practice." Accepting challenges, treating others well, and doing one's best are behaviors that can build positive character traits.

I Really Want to Win
by: Simon Philip
Today is Sports Day. I CAN'T WAIT! And as I know that I'll be great, I've planned how I will celebrate - because I'm going to win.
Our heroine is determined that she's going to win all the events at school sports day. The problem is that winning isn't as easy as it looks. She doesn't win the running race or the tug of war - and she can't even win a game of hide-and-seek. But maybe winning isn't really the point?
A joyful picture book with an important message from the author and illustrator of I Really Want the Cake.
