• Monday 13 January 2025 The Power of Yet The Power of YetBefore Christmas Mr Parsad did assemblies explaining the power of this word! Let’s kick off 2025 using it regularly and making sure we have a positive approach to our learning.Tag on the word ‘Yet’ whenever you are finding something hard and see the differences!?? You haven’t mastered it… YET.?? You’re not the best at it… YET.?? You don’t fully understand… YET.?? Adding "yet" turns "I can’t do this" into "I’m on my way!" It’s the little word with BIG potential. It shifts your mindset from limitation to growth.No matter what the area of your life use this word! Struggling with maths? Learning a new skill? Facing challenges in sports or life? Yet can help!? Remember: Growth takes time. Progress isn’t linear. Every stumble, every mistake, every try is a step closer to your goals. Embrace the process. Celebrate your effort. And don’t forget... YOU’RE NOT THERE YET.
