Have a look in our classroom at our ASPIRATIONAL tree - the children all wrote out an aspiration to aspire their friends.
These are some of the aspirational things that Room 7 students wrote:

Try your hardest and think happy thoughts.
If you're stuck, ask a friend.
Mistakes help you learn.
Use a different strategy.
I am awesome at this!
I am going to train my brain.
I'm good at this!
Give it a go!
Keep on trying.
I can do it - I am doing my best!
I am good at this.
Even if you're stuck, do your best, best, best!
Do my best, best, best.
You are a CAN girl/boy - NOT a can't girl/boy
Mistakes make your brain grow.
Friends help you - that is what they are here for.

Our SHARP lessons for weeks 7 and 8 is about BEING POSITIVE.
Towards others and towards ourselves. I think we all need a good dose of this - and learn to be kind to ourselves...
In Room 7 we will be thinking and discussing: What are some things you do to give sunshine to the world.
Name 3 positive things about you:
How do you be positive?
What about at home? school? in the community?
