For example: drawing someone jumping over the moon vs. someone with a huge smile on their face.
Wednesday: Watch Jessi, who is autistic, talk about what helped her to cope with her worried about moving on to secondary school (see link below).

Read through the information below.

Thursday: Watch the video below.
Activity: Write a letter to yourself for you to read when you are having a bad day. It might be a note to yourself to remind you that you are brilliant, unique, have lots of talents and are loved.
Look at my example below to help you.
Use this as an opportunity to show off your Year 6 writing!
For example:
•If I were you, I would…
•I know things are tough right now; they will improve.
•Today may be a bad day: there may be lots of things upsetting on you.
•You can/will get through this!
•When you are finding things tough, focus on the positives.
•Today, just like every other day, will pass.
