Goal Setting

Today we shared great ideas about goal setting.

What is a goal?

• Something to help us. Will T.
• Something you need to work on. Yusuf
• Something you are trying to achieve. Flynn
• A dream that you really want to do. Holly
• A wish
• There might be people that can help us. Eden

How do goals help us?

• They help you get better at the things in the class and your learning. Charlotte
• They help us to keep on trying. Yusuf
• They might help us work on what we wnt to be in the future. Lucy

We talk about what makes a great goal and Mrs Howison (Claire) told it that it is important that our goal is SMART.

Specific ( smallish and focussed)
Measurable ( so you know when you have reached it)
Achievable ( so it is worth working towards and you will get there)
Realistic ( it good for you and you are able to achieve it)
Timeframe ( so you know when you want to do it by)

A goal without a timeframe is merely a dream!

Last term when we set our goals we feel we didn't look at them often enough so this time we are going to blog them, put them in our Learning Reports and put them on the wall! We are going to publish them in the shape of a ball and move them towards a goal post.

Look out for them soon!
