Year 5 - Lancashire Mind: Resilience

Date: 12th Jun 2026 @ 1:41pm

The first session with Lancashire Mind provided a positive and engaging introduction to the six-week resilience programme for Year 5. Pupils were welcomed into a safe and supportive space and encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas respectfully. The session focused on helping children understand what resilience means, using age-appropriate language, examples, and interactive activities.

Through discussion and group tasks, pupils began to recognise different emotions and how these can affect their thoughts and behaviours. They explored simple strategies to manage challenges, such as talking to others, staying calm, and keeping a positive mindset. Lancashire Mind staff modelled openness and encouraged participation, helping pupils feel confident to contribute.

Overall, the session set a strong foundation for the coming weeks, with pupils demonstrating enthusiasm and curiosity about building their resilience skills.
