On Friday 26th January we celebrated the many ways pupils are already participating and making their voices heard. P6 pupils Eve and Hannah told everyone about their recent visit to the 'Burns Unbroke' Exhibition at Summerhall, including an ‘Oor Rabbie’ performance by Andy Cannon. This was a follow up to two wonderful art workshops with the artist Ciara Veronica Dunne where the class explored the poem Tam O’Shanter, chose favourite scenes from the poem and used Indian ink to create final masterpieces now on display at Summerhall. Huge congratulations to James H, Hugo and Oscar whose recreation of Alloway Kirk was chosen as the winning design for a Burns Unbroke tote bag. A wonderful opportunity to pARTicipate in one of the first Year of Young People events. P7 Grange Captains Flora, Iain, Maisie and David explained their plans for a House Quiz and P6 pupil Dylan encouraged everyone to take part in the RSPB Big Garden Watch at the weekend. P7 pupil Camille explained her idea for creating Bug Hotels with the ECO Group. We are grateful for advice and encouragement from Anne O'Connell and Sarah Tolley organiser of the Meadows Community garden and head of community group "Greening our Street." P4 Fern and P7 Alejandro showed their new ECO Suggestion Boxes and siblings P5 Sam and P6 Eliza encouraged us to participate in forthcoming Edinburgh Southern Orienteering Club events. P7 pupils Isaac and Nils explained their Marathon in a Month idea to raise awareness of Asthma UK which will be supported by PE Specialist Mrs Walker at P7. Pupil Council members were at Blackwell's Bookshop with Ms French today and will report back on their suggestions for purchases. P7 pupil Niamh shared examples of books which provide strong female role models and will also contribute her ideas for future book purchases at school. Sports Captains congratulated the P7 Basketball Team on their recent win in the first round of the Hope Trust Basketball Cup and presented certificates. Thank you to PE Specialist Mrs Walker for organising and running the event and to Mrs Tariq for accompanying the team. Everyone was encouraged to continue to 'Participate! 'and 'Have a Goal' this session, sharing and celebrating achievements with us.

21. Building Resilience
We’re On This Road
by Stephen Fischbacher
https://www.fischy.com/songs/were-on-this-road

22. Having goals is good for
our health and wellbeing
and helps us Be Resilient

23. Skipper has found that these ten tools
help him to cope with the river of life

24. Building Resilience
For as long as Skipper can
remember, he has wanted to
write his very own book.
He decides to set himself a
goal to write a book about his
sailing adventures. He is
really excited about it.
Skipper sets himself a goal

25. Building Resilience
Setting a
realistic goal
helps to
motivate us

26. Building Resilience
Sometimes
we fail or
make
mistakes and
that is okay

27. Building Resilience
Skipper asks some people to
read what he has written. They
point out several mistakes and
make new suggestions.
Skipper is very disappointed
and considers giving up.
Skipper asks for feedback

28. Building Resilience
Failures and mistakes are okay
because:
1. They are normal and happen
to everyone.
2. They can give us the chance to
reflect on whether we are on
the right path.
3. They give us the opportunity
to try a creative new way or
new idea.
Learning to overcome setback helps us to
cope with future ones
What would
I do
differently?

29. Building Resilience
One of the adventures that
Skipper has been writing
about was about the time he
was on the river of life and
there was a storm that blew
him off track.
Skipper remembers a time he
dealt with failure before
Can you remember
how he was able to
cope with this?

30. Building Resilience
Once Skipper remembered
he had dealt with setbacks
before, he had the
confidence that he could do
so again.
He realised he needed to take
his friend’s advice on board if
he wanted to make the book
better.
Keep working towards your goal
Every challenge we
successfully overcome
strengthens our confidence
to confront future ones.

31. Building Resilience
It is important
to celebrate
achievements

32. Building Resilience
Skipper finished his book and
felt proud to hear that his
stories would be shared with
others.
Skipper achieved his goal

33. Building Resilience
When we reach our goal, take
time to enjoy the feeling of
achievement and thank those
that helped you. Think about
what skills you learned along
the way.
Celebrate your achievement
When was the last
time you felt proud of
someone or
something?

34. Building Resilience
We have learned that…
Having goals
helps our health
and wellbeing,
motivates us
and helps us to
Be Resilient.

35. Have you set your goals?
Aim high. Let your ambition fly!

36. Keep recording progress
towards your goals in eJASS

37. Reading Passport Goals
• Record books you have read.
• Rate books by colouring in the stars.
• Add notes about what you liked and didn’t
like about the book.
• Note recommendations from your friends.

38. Building Resilience
Family Activity
Work together on a goal.
The goal can be anything
you want to improve. Think
about who or what will help
you achieve it. How will
you celebrate achieving it?
Bring your ‘goal’ in to
share with your class.
Share some examples
at next week’s Assembly
