During the session they learned about the three key pillars of growth:
- Growing Through Setbacks
- Growing Our Emotional Well-being
- Growing Together.
Pupils learned how setbacks provide an opportunity for growth. The workshop explored the difference between ‘blame’ and ‘responsibility’ and how pupils can use setbacks as a method to improve. They looked at some typical setbacks a Key Stage 2 pupil might face and what a ‘growth response’ would look like.
Growing our emotional well-being
They learned about the ‘big 5 of emotions’ and the Thoughts-Emotions-Actions cycle (TEA Time). They learned that often actions and behaviours can be dictated by how we choose to perceive a situation.
Growing together
P6 explored the importance of being a ‘team player’ and learned that how we act towards others can impact on how others feel and perform. They examined what a good team player looks like and how they could be a great ‘team player in the classroom.’
P6 understand the impact both behaviour and emotions can have on others and learned that both can be ‘contagious!”
