Resilience – we have been teaching what resilience is across the whole school.  Being able to bounce back after stress/worry/an incident.  We talk about how to calm ourselves before we react

• breathe (mountain breathing tracing fingers on our hand)
• distraction – do something fun eg. Scissors, paper rock game; think of a funny moment
• positive self talk eg. We all make mistakes, I will ask for help or try again.

This is part of our Monday morning PBL lessons which is also reinforced throughout the week.  Students receive Dojo points and or Gotchas for being resilient, safe, respectful, responsible and a learner.
