Today we will be starting our new Building Resilience topic: Challenge your mindset. We have already done a lot of learning on Growth Mindset strategies so this is revision for us!
We are going to start off by looking at the PowerPoint slides. We will have some singing, dancing and a Tollcross challenge. Lets see what Skipper is teaching us this term:
That was a lot of information I think now is a great time for a song about your brain, this is one of my favourite songs about the brain!
We are going to create our own brains. You can draw a brain, build a brain, mould a brain, paint a brain…. You can use play-dough, modelling clay, string, cardboard, recycling, plastic, tinfoil, digital.…anything really, be as creative as you like.
Your brain could be small, it could be huge it could be medium size. it could be a model, a puzzle, a hat or a piece of art. The choice is yours. You can research some ideas online or get inspiration from the pictures below. Your brain can be any colour that your like!
This task will be fun, but it may not be easy. Lets watch the video below to get Growth Mindset tips from Dojo!
Now we have a quiz. write down the numbers 1 – 9 . Look at the pictures of the brains and the list of animals and decide which brain belongs to which animal? Answers will be posted tomorrow. Good Luck.
Skipper has 2 more tasks for you complete ( remember you have a week to complete the Building Resilience tasks) complete the tasks at a time that suits you. Send all your pictures to admin@tollcross.edin.sch.uk or tweet @tollcrossP
lets finish our Assembly with a dance, I am looking forward to seeing all your great work.
Good morning Tollcross families, I hope everyone is safe and well. Thank you to everyone who completed the IT survey we sent out last week. This has helped us to target support for our families. We will be in contact over the next few days to arrange a time to deliver iPads to families who need a device. This will support our learners to continue to access learning from home. 🌈
Good morning, I hope everyone managed to do something to make them happy over the weekend. Ms Anderson has been supporting health and wellbeing across our school community while we are learning and working from home. We all need to think about how we look after our mental health by keeping connected, being kind to ourselves, trying something new and doing things that make us happy.
Hopefully you were able to watch the resilience videos yesterday. Just in case it wasn’t able to load on your device I have shared the messages from Team TX in a gallery below. We look forward to receiving your messages too.
Thank you to the City of Edinburgh Psychological Services team for this great resource to support families as we try to work and learn from home. This information has been emailed to all our families with contact details of how you can access the the service should you child require additional support or to seek advice on home learning or wellbeing.
Good morning, we have come to the end of our Building Resilience topic 3 : Respect Yourself. I hope that you have enjoyed the activities and you have learned a lot.
The key learning has been: 🙂 There is no-one quite like me. 🙂 Everyone has different strengths. 🙂 I treat myself with respect.
It is now time to reflect on what we have learned. Just like we do in school. Find somewhere peaceful and cosy to reflect, put on some relaxing music or listen to the birds. Go through the reflection slides below and answer the questions. Remember give yourself time to think before you share your thoughts. Adults this is a great activity for everyone to do.
Enjoy
