Pastoral Assemblies at ASPS

We promote children’s ability to listen to and respect the opinions and beliefs of others and to be able to express oneself coherently and logically. We teach children to think in every area and to apply their knowledge and ideas. We truly believe that our pupils should be partners in driving learning and experiences and that they should understand how each person contributes to the ethos and standards that we aspire to achieve.

Question of the Week – 3 Coping up with exam stress

Did you know that the ability to cope with stress helps us do better in exams? A little bit of stress is good, as it pushes us to give our best in exams. Here are the best ways to cope with exam stress:

•Time Management: Manage your time and organize yourself accordingly. Study the things you feel are important first.

•Don't Panic: When you feel that you're panicking, just take a deep breath and go back to studying.

•Take Breaks: Studying for 3-5 hours straight without any breaks can slow down your learning and make it difficult for you to remember anything.

The FIRST LEGO League Challenge is an international competition organized by FIRST for elementary and middle school students. Participants gain real-world problem solving experience through a guided, global robotics program, helping today's students and teachers build a better future together.

My experience for The First Lego League was very enjoyable. We all had a chance to make a real robot, programme it and then test it. I learned about confidence by explaining to the judges and teamwork.

The FLL challenge has been a wonderful and enriched experience for our students and our school. This opportunity not only taught us teamwork, but also problem solving and perseverance.

When we first entered the FLL challenge, It was only a month away and we had no clue of what to expect. Our whole team equally divided the work to create the missions to continue with the robot, and all our team members gave their own opinion and we managed to create our own robot.

First Lego league competition was an extraordinary opportunity to learn and explore the vast world of robotics. Thank You So much for the opportunity and I can not wait to do it again.
