Never Give Up, and Help Others Succeed
Key message: Resilience means keeping going when things are difficult, knowing when to ask for help and encouraging others.
UNCRC: Article 29 – Education should develop children's abilities and respect for others.
British Values: Democracy and Mutual Respect – Listening to others, working together and valuing everyone's contributions.
This week we have been thinking about resilience.
On Monday, we learned the power of YET.
On Tuesday, we learned that mistakes help us improve.
On Wednesday, we talked about hard work and determination.
Today, we are going to think about how we can help each other become more resilient.
Imagine you are climbing a very tall mountain.
At first, the journey is easy, but as you climb higher, it becomes more difficult. You feel tired and begin to wonder whether you can reach the top.
What might help you keep going?
Perhaps someone encouraging you, taking a short rest, trying a different route or asking for help.
Learning is very similar.
We all have our own mountains to climb. Some children find reading difficult. Others struggle with maths, writing or speaking in front of the class.
We should never make someone feel embarrassed about finding something difficult.
Instead, we can encourage them, offer support and celebrate their progress.
Our Resilience Promise
What does a resilient Year 5 classroom should look like?
Our Year 5 Resilience Promise
We will always try our best. We will learn from our mistakes. We will work hard and take pride in our learning. We will ask for help when we need it. We will encourage each other and celebrate progress.
Ask the children to read the promises aloud together.
Reflection
Article 29 reminds us that education should develop our talents and teach us to respect other people.
When we listen to others, value different opinions and help our classmates, we demonstrate democracy and mutual respect.
Thought for the day: "You don't have to be perfect to be successful. You just have to keep learning."
Daily challenge: Encourage someone who is finding something difficult and tell them something positive about their effort.
