Children were able to identify what characteristic they needed to work on using their own examples. There were lots of children talking about determination when learning a musical instrument.

Year 2's resilience was put to the test by balancing on one leg, patting their head whilst rubbing their tummy. There were a lot of wobbly children! They discussed how resilience can positively impact their mental health bringing confidence, happiness, pride and achievement. Finally, children took on the ultimate test of resilience... to build their own tower using pasta and marshmallows. As part of the challenge they worked as a team against their peers, making sure the model was the tallest and strongest in the class! Great team work Year 2!
