Summer 1 - Building Learning Powers

Spring 2 - Kindness

Spring 1 Challenge - Learn A New Skill!

The aim for this half term is to also build confidence as you perform the skill, resilience as it may take a lot of time and patience and self reflection as you will need to analyse how well learning the skill has gone.

 

Learning a new skill is a rewarding way to increase your knowledge and find enjoyment.

 

You could:

  • Learn a new language
  • Learn to play an instrument
  • Learn a skill linked to a particular sport
  • Learn a cooking skill
  • Learn to draw

…. the list is endless and completely up to you!

 

Over the next month, you will need to practice this new skill. You will need gather evidence over the whole month and email pictures and/or videos of you performing your new skill at the end of the month. It would be great if you could also include an explanation of what you did throughout the whole month and why you chose this skil
