Building Resilience – Have a Goal
This term, all classes will be learning about the strategy, ‘Have a Goal’. In this unit, we will be looking at the importance of setting and
pursuing meaningful goals. When we make progress on things
that are important for us to achieve, we are more satisfied with
our lives and report higher levels of wellbeing.
While no-one starts a goal expecting to fail, we will undoubtedly
hit setbacks along the way. Resilient people understand that
working at something takes energy, motivation and effort. They
view failure as feedback, recognise that it can happen to
anyone, reflect on what wrong, and try new ways to tackle the
problem. Research suggests that children who experience
adversity, and develop problem solving and coping strategies
while they are young, are more likely to be able to have good
ways of dealing with setbacks in adulthood.
Have a look at the leaflet below.
Building Resilience Strategies
All of our children are learning ways to become more resilient. Each term we focus on a specific strategy. To support at home, we will email you the parents’ guide with some useful information. Below is a copy of the different strategies we teach.
This term, we will focus on having a goal.

Building Resilience: Ways to help at home
Be Kind to Others
It is always lovely to be on the receiving end of thanks or a kind
act. But we know kindness benefits the giver as well as the
receiver. When we are kind, it strengthens our connections with
others. Sadly, when we are not treated kindly or are isolated
from others this can have a detrimental impact on our
wellbeing.
Through this unit we will help the children recognise the
importance of being kind to themselves, as well as others. It’s
often particularly difficult to be kind to ourselves, yet, self-
compassion is associated with enhanced motivation, better
ability to cope with difficulties, greater wellbeing and reduced
anxiety and depression.
Skipper will teach the children about being a
‘bucket filler’. They will learn that everyone carries
an invisible bucket that holds our good thoughts
and feelings. When our buckets are full, we feel up
and when our buckets are empty, we feel down.
We can be bucket fillers or bucket dippers
through our actions, words and behaviour.
In this unit, we will be learning that:
• Kindness makes a difference to ourselves and others
• Being unkind hurts others, and it hurts us too
• It is important to be kind to ourselves
