English Role models. I’ve been thinking this week about all of the heroes, key workers and inspirational individuals that have helped us through this torrid time.

But what makes a role model? What makes them inspirational and what qualities do they have? I thought that we could have a focus on them this week. https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/tf-or-49-we-are-all-different-inspirational-people-powerpoint

Discuss what inspiration and being inspirational means.

Think about what makes an inspirational person. Talk to

your family to get their ideas as well as your own.

Using the outline template on page 2, write on the inside

behaviours and traits that make people inspiring. On the

outside, write what actions people can do to show how to

be inspirational. As a challenge, rank them in

order of importance.

What is so inspiring about it?

Discuss it with your family and discuss ideas on how we can

support it.

Inspiring people in your life

Using your work from the previous days, think about who has inspired you in your life.

What have they inspired you to do / want to do?

Write a paragraph about this. You may want to talk about –

- who they are. - what they do. - what is inspirational about them. - what they have inspired you to do.

Postcard

During this time, it is so important to tell people how wonderful, supportive and

inspirational they are.

Using your ideas from the yesterday, write a postcard,

email or letter to your inspirational person.

I guarantee it will make their day

and smile!
