Creating Confident Children - Resilience 1

During assembly and newdesk you have been thinking about what helps you to 'bounce back' when things get hard - to be resilient.

You have been provided with a sheet, which you should share with a parent or carer and discuss people who have demonstrated a special quality of resilience to you - maybe a family member or someone well known.

You should draw a picture or stick a picture of the person on the sheet and explain why you have selected them.
