This week’s 8Rs we’re focusing on are resourcefulness and resilience.
To be resourceful at school, we can make sure we’re bringing anything we need from home (PE kits, reading books, homework); we can make sure everything we need is always in our trays; and we can use the displays and equipment around the classroom to help our learning. Discuss with your child whether there are ways they can be resourceful at home.
All of Year 6 know what it means to be resilient. We discussed when we might need to be resilient and how we might feel at the time. See whether your child can share any of our discussion with you.
We had a bit of fun while thinking about resilience too. Each group was challenged to build the tallest tower they could but, every now and again, someone (definitely not Miss Rushbrooke) came and knocked some of it down. This helped us to experience those feelings we might have at a time we need to be resilient.
