Inspire to Grow

When Room 6 was asked what they thought "Inspire to Grow" meant a few weeks back, I received many blank and confused looks. Fast forward a few weeks and we can now tell you- It's our school motto!

At first we weren't too sure what inspire meant and we figured grow meant "to get bigger". We have now spent a few weeks talking about our motto and have come to the conclusion that "Inspire to Grow" can be interpreted in many ways.

We have learnt that as we get older many people will inspire us: 
  • people closest to us (our family)
  • our friends
  • people around our school
  • people we may meet once
  • people we see on television
  • sometimes even people who we may never meet
We have also learnt that we can grow in different ways and is not always a physical change. We can also grow socially, physically and emotionally. 

For our class project we looked at ourselves for inspiration. What do we want to do when we grow up and what attributes will that profession require? Have a look below at how much we have already grown and take a look into the future to see who we want to blossom into.
