Hi everyone, I believe in positive affirmations. “Affirmations are positive statements that can help you to challenge and overcome self-sabotaging and negative thoughts. When you repeat them often, and believe in them, you can start to make positive changes.” I have a number of statements that will help with new year resolutions. I know what you are thinking positive affirmations can be a load of mumbo jumbo, nonsense, new age waste of time and just rubbish. However positive affirmations have been used for thousands of years. In modern day the best and most successful people with some of the most challenging backgrounds, use positive affirmations. For example before a business meeting " I can do this, you got this" In some of the most challenging situations at school, you can use positive affirmations with many pupils. Pupils that have never been taught by their care givers, the understanding of self esteem. You use positive affirmations and praise, you can get through to some of the most challenging pupils with some of the most challenging emotional barriers. Kindest Regards Lang

Hi everyone, thankyou for reading through this. I have a PDF format project. Where you can get kids to make a paper rocket. It is propelled by a piece of 15mm diameter wide UPVC piping and can be launched in a controlled environment a bit like a pea shooter. I have a balloon powered cardboard car, made from either cardboard keenex, chocolate or biscuit boxes. The parts such as axels and wheels as well as straws can be bought from a espo catalogue. The third project is a mechanical litter picker. If you are interested I can supply the CAD DXF drawing. If you have nearby engineering factories that have CAD/CAM facilities they can cut these. In my area we had about three companies volunteer to cut the parts out. Then we did a community litter pick and it got in the local papers. These are a few ideas. Worksheets and ideas pages are provided.

Hi everyone, During last summer 2023 I had to reevaluate my life. You see I never trully understood what self-esteem is. I thought self-esteem is based on how you look, how much money you have saved, how well you perform at work, how good are your grades? You see I was wrong true self esteem is about knowing you have self value, knowing you are equal, you are precious and you are enough. It is something that we should get from our caregivers. I’m not blaming my parents, they did what they needed to do for my upbringing as they worked long hours. This got me thinking, If I didn’t understand self esteem then there must be lots of kids that don’t understand too. So I’ve changed my ways in how I raise my own children but also how I want to instill self value in everyone of my pupils in my year group. Please go through the slides I have animated each statement this helps you pace out your voice. Slide 2 is what is self esteem, I kept it simple. Slide 3 is what secondary or (other) esteem is. Slide 4 explains the problem with basing your life on (other )esteem and not true self esteem Slide 5 shows why bullies bully Slide 6 shows that it is the bully’s shame that is placed on their victims and the victims need to speak up. Slide 7 how (other) esteem causes bully’s to bully Slide 8 tries to get pupils to speak up. In the week that I did this assembly we had pupils that reported to us, bullying, we had pupils asking for support.

Hi everyone, this is my year group assembly. However if you are thinking of using it for PSHE or for tutor time, this will fit in. Slide 1 explains what a growth minset is. Each statement using clicker animations or the (enter) button. Slide 2 explains what a fixed minset is. Slide 3 shows pupils we are all born with a growth mindset. Learning to walk photo animation, learning to talk photo animation, learning to read and ride a bicycle. Slide 4 shows that some people revert to a fixed mindset, it asks what went wrong? then the word resilience pops up Slide 5 look at the images, then relate some people study to make exams and assessment/tests easier, the black and white photos shows that people should not be confined to what they feel are limitations to social status, they work hard, study and build a future. Slide 6: never dwell on the cruelty of others, mention they will try and shame you. Speak to others and get support. Slide 7 is about people in a growth mindset. Dyson, he made over 5000 prototypes before his cyclone hoover was produced. Elon Musk, he had a cruel father that never supported his interests or hobbies, but he had resilience to overcome, Mae Jamison, brought up in a racially segregated society the “deep” south of the USA.
