The Learning Toolkit
To be resilient you have to never give up on anything, even if you're not good at it because you always get better at things by making mistakes - mistakes help you learn. You have to keep working hard to achieve your goals. In my time at school, I have had to be resilient a lot. In some of my English lessons, I have been really stuck on what to do but I looked back at my previous mistakes and learn from them to help me.
Year 5 Child
I need resilience when I don’t know what to write in English, but I keep going.
Year 2 Child
Responsibility means you take charge of your learning or if you want to make something you actually make it, like you're responsible for it.

If I finish my work before the time is over, I think about what my teacher has told me to do so I can make sure I have done everything correctly. If I can't remember then I don't go straight back to my teacher, I go to a friend and check with them. This is one of the ways I show responsibility in my time at school.
Year 5 Child
I have shown perseverance during my history lesson. I find some of the work hard to understand but I continue until I’ve found the right answer.
Year 3 Child
I showed perseverance in PE when we were jumping onto the bench and running across it. I found it difficult to jump onto it but I persevered and got the hang of it.
Year 6 Child
I persevere when I find learning tricky. I always have a go by myself first and then I ask an adult to help me.
Year 1 Child
I show concentration when I manage the distractions around me and do my best with my work.
Year 3 Child
Concentration means that you manage your distractions. I showed concentration when I managed my distractions whilst doing reasoning Maths. Someone was talking near me so I ignored them.
Year 6 Child
If someone is being silly, you just get on and ignore them. You have to do your work. You can show you are concentrating by just looking at your work, your teacher or the whiteboard.
Year 1 Child
I think that teamwork is where lots of people help each other. During our maths lesson on fractions, I helped my friend, I did this because they couldn't do it on their own. We worked as a team to get the right answers.
Year 4 Child
We showed teamwork when we created a human model of the solar system. We had to work out the order of the planets and we had to communicate with each other to decide where each person had to stand and how far apart we had to be.
