For the next two weeks we, as a school, are looking at the concept of Grit. The children will be discussing what this looks like with a Growth Mindset focus. Grit is our passion and perseverance towards reaching a long-term goal while resilience is the optimism to keep bouncing back from failure. Both of these traits for success are rooted in a growth mindset, and the good news is that a growth mindset means you can learn, develop and build your resilience and grit. The children have been asked to 'interview' someone at home about a time that person has had to use grit. Get your thinking caps on - it would be great to hear your real examples!
