Dear Future Self Letters

The students in H1 and H2 have been learning to identify which learning muscles are strengths or goals for them and their learning within the classroom. They have written letters to their future selves which we will revisit at the end of the year to see if they have achieved their goals. These are just a couple of examples:

Dear future self,

My name is Eden. I am a year six student in H1. Here is something I would like you to know about me…

I’m sporty that means I love being outside and when I'm outside I'm in a good mood. I love athletics! My two favourite athletics activities are sprints and shot put. I got first place in both of them. I really try hard when it come to sports and I give it my best shot.

I love music. Every day when I get home I listen to my radio in my room. I make up my own moves and sometimes I dance along. I like singing in the shower because I put my family's bluetooth speaker in the shower and I sing and dance  along. Once I fell over when I did a Michael Jackson move, I'll tell you it hurt but these are memories that will never be lost. Music is stuck with me forever.

My learning strengths are reading and writing. I like reading every day after school. I read a book with my mum and then after that I independently read to myself. It helps me get better at my reading so I can move up levels. I also like writing. I have my own book for writing and in it I make up fairy tales and then read it to my family. The learning muscle that I am good at is perseverance because I don’t like to give up when things get hard.

My learning goal is spelling. My mum does spelling tests on me and it helps but I still find it hard. I hope that I can achieve my goals by the end of the year. My learning muscle goal for this year is to work on managing distractions because I often get chatty and distracted by my friends.

My name is Eden and I’m the past you.

Kind regards,

Eden

Dear Future Self.

Hello my name is Charlotte. This is my earlier year self, I will be telling you my goals right now and my hobbies. You will be learning a little about me. I have 2 cats Milly and Marley 1 boy 1 girl, I also have three brothers. My parents are divorced. I have a week with my Dad and then and week with my Mum and my Step-Dad and then it repeats.

My hobbies are: cheerleading, swimming and running. The learning muscle I am good at is collaboration. The learning muscle I need to work on is: managing distractions, I need to work on not getting distracted, because it slows me down.

My goal for the end of the school year is to not distract other students and managing distractions. I really want to have a good year!

Kind regards,

Charlotte
