SUMO

‘Children have a secure understanding of the ways in which Christian values guide their
attitudes and very good behaviour. They recognise the links between the values and the stories they hear in
worship and RE. Mutually supportive relationships reflect the commitment within the school’s mission statement
to, ‘Building good relationships and friendship through respect, tolerance and understanding.’

SIAMs Report 2016

SUMO – Putting Challenges into Perspective

Stop. Understand. Move On – SUMO

When challenges seem difficult to face, we use SUMO to put the situation into perspective. We follow these three simple principles to help: stop and take a breath, understand the situation and then move on positively. This means that we do not dwell on the mistakes we have made or the challenges of our day, we look for what we have learnt and how we can tackle the situation better next time.

Fruity Thinking – Saying No To Negatives!

We use the ideas of SUMO to say no to the negative thoughts in our heads. We have learnt in our weekly SUMO worship together that negative thoughts are easy to have when tasks seem difficult. However, if we say no to the negatives and use our Growth Mindset we will have a positive outcome.

The seven points of SUMO are used in our classrooms and at playtime to help us manage the challenges of our day. We know that if we learn from our mistakes by tackling problems differently next time, then we can overcome all the challenges life throws at us.

In our most recent SUMO worship we learnt about beachball thinking. If we are willing to see an event from the other person’s point of view, then we can see the problem in a balanced way. This positive thinking helps us to understand and then move on.
