Year 6 Personal Challenge Unit!
What? Why? How?
What is it ?
This is a chance for you to choose your own activities, set your own targets, learn about your own motivation levels, and prove that your body can do more than you think !
In order to get the most out of this , you must set your goals right!
GOAL SETTING :
I am choosing this because I will win, and look good!
I am choosing this because it looks like the easiest option!
I don’t like getting sweaty, so I’m going to do the bare minimum!
My friend has chosen that one, so I’ll do it too!
I can’t think, so I’ll just choose anything!
GOAL SETTING:
I’ve not done that before, and I’m not sure if I’ll manage it, but I’m going to challenge myself!
I will be SO proud of myself once I have done it.
I want to step outside of my comfort zone, and you never know, I might love it!
My friend has chosen their option, but it doesn’t fit with my targets, so I’ll choose a different challenge that suits me better.
Why do it?
“The more you challenge yourself and succeed, the greater your confidence grows. You know you can do it, and then next time you just feel even better. Challenge doesn't just help you grow your skills and knowledge, it helps you grow your belief that you can.”
Get ready for the CHALLENGE!
