Children in R5 enjoyed a visit from Richard Reid as he delivered his ‘stretch’ resilience programme.
The children got to learn about Positive Psychology. We discussed ways to think about things positively and we learnt one of the main factors of staying happy is to give thanks. This was particularly appropriate for us at this time of the year.
We talked about growth mindset which means rather than saying ‘I can’t do this’ we say ‘I can’t do this yet!’ Richard talked about setbacks, challenges and change that we face in P6/7 and the boys and girls provided wonderful responses! We finished off by discussing who is in our resilience team …in other words, who are our trusted people that we can talk to and ask for help when we need it.
A great afternoon with lots of food for thought and ways to adapt our thought patterns in the future 😊
