Our ‘statement to live by’ is ‘I can learn from my mistakes and failures’
Time to talk: This week we will reflect on why it is OK – even important – to make mistakes sometimes. We will think about why we must challenge ourselves so that we can actually learn how to be fantastic learners.
We will reflect on why this can be scary and why we have to just go for it - even though we might make mistakes in the process. We will think about what Michael Johnson (the famous American basketball player) meant when he said; “You will miss 100% of the shots you never take!” and we promised to try to push ourselves to our limits - and beyond - within the safety of the classroom.
This week why not reflect on how, when and where you will push yourselves this week? What mistakes have you made in the past and how did you react to them? Positively or negatively? How will you challenge yourselves this week? Why is Lent such a special time for thinking, reflecting, trying, failing and trying again? What will you do differently this week?
