Your life will never improve unless you start making daily improvements. - Lewis Howes

Hello and Welcome to your Y4 blog- previously the Y5V blog. The name 'Ubuntu' means also to help one another and work together, have compassion and humility - all linking to our 5 school values!

Queen Cleopatra 69 BC
Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. Always 'try!'
A person who walks in another’s tracks leaves no footprints. So, do not copy other people, think outside the box and do what you need or want to do. Don't be a follower - be a leader.
The minute you start talking about what you’re going to do if you lose, you have lost.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
The world is divided into people who do things – and people who get the credit.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Keep on dreaming, it's something good!
Until you spread your wings, you have no idea how far you can fly. So, start doing! You'll be amazed by what you will achieve!

We like to stop and think - before we do or speak.

'Give children a thought and they’ll learn for a day. Teach them to think and they’ll learn for a lifetime.’David Hyerle
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.- William Arthur Ward
You cannot write it, if you cannot say it; you cannot say it, if you haven't heard it.

We love to share our way of thinking, it does help us in our learning!
