Our Term 1 Learning Value

Our value for this term is ‘Determination’. Being determined is having the ability to keep going, even when there are setbacks. It’s accepting that things don’t always work out the way you expect them to, but continuing to set new goals that help you to grow as a person. Believing in yourself, being patient, and being the best that you can be are all important parts of determination!

  • you can say “Yes I can!”
  • you can set yourself your own challenging goals
  • you have confidence to keep going, even when it is tough

If you have determination, what do you realise?

  • never, ever, ever give up
  • you can reach your potential if you believe in yourself
  • your confidence gives you the strength to carry on

How can you can show determination?

  • having a positive and determined mind-set
  • setting challenging goals and having the courage to try
  • be a superhero
  • say “Yes I can!”
