On Friday 8th September we explored 'Challenge Your Mindset' which is one of ten strategies in City of Edinburgh's Health and Wellbeing programme for "Building Resilience." Pupils were encouraged to have a Growth Mindset and realise that their abilities are not fixed. Believing that achievement is possible is important, but lots of effort and being open to make and learn from mistakes are also keys to success. We watched videos from Class Dojo and Sport Scotland to encourage us to keep challenging ourselves and keep persevering in our efforts. Miss McGrouther's P6B class has created a display with inspiring quotes on self belief entitled "Believe in Your #Selfie." Ivy and Alba researched leadership quotes for homework, working hard to impress their teacher with their extra efforts and shared these at Assembly. The first Maths Week Scotland takes place next week and Ms Mackintosh is leading many maths events and activities in school. Some classes are also taking part in a national Sumdog competition, in school, at home or both. Today, 8th September, is International Literacy Day and pupils have been invited to take part in the First Minister's Reading Challenge again this year. Reading passports have been ordered and reading challenges will take place throughout the year. One of the first is to join a local library, which then gives access to dozens of free resources such as Mathletics and ebooks. This week P7C pupils assisted at Assembly in a quiz and in celebrating pupil achievements.

- Introduce our third tool ‘Challenge Your Mindset’. Learning affects our well-being in lots of positive ways. It exposes us to new ideas and helps us to stay curious and engaged. However it is not always easy and sometimes it can very challenging. How well we cope with these challenges is based on how resilient we are.
- A fixed mindset believes talent is inborn. They have a desire to be seen as perfect and talented and so they give up easily, avoid challenges, get frustrated and ignore feedback or criticism. They can feel threatened by the success of others. A growth mindset believes ability can be developed.

- Changing your words is one way you can change your mindset
- Try this experiment - cross your arms, well done, now try crossing your arms with the opposite arm on top. One way should seem harder than the other. Doing it regularly will train your brain and make it much easier.
