Our 'Statement to Live By'

Back to News

14th Mar 2021

Our ‘statement to live by’ is: ‘I try to keep going when things are difficult and not give up’.

Time to talk: Recently we have been thinking about why making mistakes (and then learning from them) is an important part of learning. This is particularly key as we are all busy reconnecting and getting used to all being together again.

All through the week we will continue to reflect on why it is so important to be resilient, especially when we are learning something new or making an important change in our lives. At St John Fisher we encourage our children to remain positive and never ever give up.

Can you think of a time when you refused to give up? How did you feel when things did not go as you wanted? What made you keep going? Did you achieve your goal in the end? How did it feel when you did?
