Welcome to the World of Bounceback Bel and her Learning Process Gang

Hello! I am Fiona MacDonald, mum to 3 wonderful young girls aged 7, 9 and 11. So far, my two eldest children have been incredibly fortunate to have had Mrs Menzies as their teacher in the middle section of Primary School. All 3 girls are really quite different in personalities. The eldest, Isla, is quietly confident and gets on with her work. She follows the rules and woe betide if someone else doesn't do the same. She works hard and always tries her best. Middle child, Eilidh, is an emotional rollercoaster. She is a clever wee girl but has the confidence of a baked bean. She worries about everything and has so little confidence in herself, despite all that we do at home and of course at school to boost this confidence, the biggest tears you've ever seen fall far too easily. Third child, lona, is a classic third child. But as I said, only the two eldest have had Mrs Menzies as their teacher, so far. So how has Mrs Menzies and her magical ways impacted my girls? When Isla, the eldest, went into her class at first, she was quiet, kept her head down, and didn't say too much. After Mrs Menzies worked her magic, she had blossomed into a quietly confident young lady, not afraid to put her hand up, not afraid to ask questions, not afraid to ask why nor make mistakes and ready to take on the world of being a senior pupil in Primary School. She knew the power of YET, she knew she had a bubblegum brain and that learning in and around the learning pit was normal and indeed exciting and would take her anywhere she wanted to go in her learning journey.
