Picture News on Growth Mindset.

We prayed and lit our worship candle

All of us have a voice inside our head.

Sometimes that voice is kind and encouraging, and sometimes it can be unkind or negative.

Tristan - it might tell you to defend yourself

Harriet - If you cant do your work it might say negative things

Charlotte - Sometimes your brain might tell you to keep going and motivate you

We want to encourage our kind voice. we can say, this its tricky, but I'm trying my best.

we watched a short video about being kind to yourself.

Think of something you find tricky?

Charlotte -Racing

William - I find reading tricky

Evie - I find maths tricky

Andrew - I find spelling tricky

Arnie - I find football hard when I play different teams

Adwaith - I find English hard

Mrs Hudson - being kind to myself

Tristan - sleeping

Now think of one kind, positive word when you are doing something and say:

I 'am learning

I can do this

I 'am improving and trying

Loud fireworks scare pets, wildlife and some people who find sudden noises upsetting. Supporters of the campaign say we can still celebrate Bonfire Night with low-noise fireworks or light shows that keep everyone safe and happy.
