4. Resilience in school How can you/we build resilience in school?
Knowing what distracts you from learning and settling quickly after a disruption.
Noticing the areas of your learning you are good at and using them.
Not being put off by difficulties and finding ways to overcome them.
Knowing what it is like to be engrossed in a task, not knowing that time is passing.

5. Resilience in school #TeamTSLA
All that we ask is that you try your best and:
Accept the help on offer but use it wisely and only when you need to.
Talk to someone if you need support.
Ask questions in class before you feel the need to leave the room, school is meant to be challenging or else we would not need to attend.
Everyone learns something new every single day, please do not feel silly if you find something hard or do not know the answer!!
#TeamTSLA
