Please be aware this resource was last updated in 2018 A values-based resource on PURPOSE. Inspired by the film UP! Initially i thought this would most appropriate for younger students but I’ve found the older ones enjoy it too and remember it for a long time. STRUCTURE: starts with an introduction to Mr Fredericksen and a clip from the film (click on the image to access). The clip shows Mr F and his wife and their combined purpose in varying stages of their life together. Then, all of a sudden, he is alone. (tissues at the ready!) then there is a look at finding our own purpose in life and emphasises our differences make our own journey unique there are tips to finding our own purpose and next steps at the end we listen to UNWRITTEN by Natasha Beddingfield - great song and fits the bill perfectly. (click on the image to access) When I deliver this, whether in a pastoral, self-esteem, mental health session or Assembly, i always give each person a quote from the song, which is why the last slide is there. I print it and slice it into a pocket-sized piece of everyone. I LOVE delivering this! Gives a boost every time.

This is an A4 sized worksheet which consists of two downloads: colour and black and white. It can be used with a range of students to help them identify their anxiety triggers. Instructions are printed on the left-hand side and are step-by-step. I have used it with a range of students but it seems to work best with KS3/4.
