Spark: A challenge should stretch you — kindly.

Success looks like

I can choose challenges that stretch ME
I can say why each one is a real stretch
I can commit to a first step this week

Aspire · choose one challenge you might FAIL — and say why it's still worth it.

Retrieval Quiz

Arrival Task – What Do You Already Know?

1. Say it

Name a challenge you'd like to try.

Any honest answer counts — say it out loud.

2. Spot it

Is a challenge meant to be easy? Why not?

Any honest answer counts — say it out loud.

3. Point to it

Point to a challenge on the wall.

Any honest answer counts — say it out loud.

1. The big idea

What does 'A challenge should stretch you — kindly.' mean in your own words?

Own words — one honest sentence.

2. Today's work

Today is 'Choose My Challenges' — browse & pledge. What do you think we'll be doing?

A sensible prediction — we check it at the end.

3. Success check

By the end you should be able to say: 'I can choose challenges that stretch ME.' What will that take today?

Name one thing you’ll need to do or try.

1. Kind stretch

What's the difference between a challenge that stretches you KINDLY and one that just stresses you?

A kind stretch is hard but reachable with effort — stress is a target set past your reach or set by someone else.

2. Worth failing

Pick a challenge you might fail. Argue why attempting it beats an easy win.

The failure teaches range; the easy win teaches nothing you didn't know.

3. Pledge power

Why does saying a pledge OUT LOUD change the odds of keeping it?

Witnesses create gentle accountability — a private plan can quietly vanish; a pledged one gets asked about.

I Do

The Model — Choose My Challenges

Key Idea: A challenge should stretch you — kindly.

👀 Look: three paths, your pick — a challenge only counts if you chose it.

Step 0 of 3

The Junior/Young Duke challenge areas.

The challenge areas cover kindness, eco, independence and enterprise — different muscles, same principle: choose your own stretch.

Choosing challenges that stretch you kindly.

A kind stretch sits just past comfortable: you'd need real effort, but you can picture yourself doing it. Too easy teaches nothing; too far teaches quitting.

Making a pledge you can keep.

A keepable pledge is specific and started this week — 'I'll be kinder' drifts; 'I'll help at the food bank Saturday' happens.

Key Idea: Launch extension: one written line — the challenge you nearly didn't pick, and why you hesitated.

Step 0 of 3

Documentarian

photo your pledge.

Annotate

'my challenge is ___'.

Witness

staff tick 'chose + pledged a challenge', sign.

For the moderator, not just the folder

A tick says it happened. A witness statement says what you did. Before the photo is filed, the adult writes one sentence naming the thing they actually saw you do — and rings whether you did it Supported, Standard or Stretch.

That ring is the part that counts. It is the difference between “the class did this” and “this candidate did it, at this level, with this much help.” The witness sheet prints with every pack.

Independent Work

Independent Work — Studio Time

Instructions: Work at your level. Evidence goes in your ASDAN portfolio — Documentarian photo + annotation + witness tick — AQA UAS 'Personal challenge'.

🤝 With support

Task: Choose your challenge picture cards and place your pledge sticker on the wall yourself.

Steps: One step at a time — adult support is right there. Photo when you’re proud of it.

👤 On your own

Task: Browse the challenge booklet, choose your challenges for the term and add your pledge to the wall.

Steps: Work the task through — photo as you go, annotate at the end, witness tick before you pack up.

🚀 Take it further

Task: Browse the challenge booklet, choose your challenges for the term and add your pledge to the wall. Stretch: choose one challenge you might FAIL — and say why it's still worth it.

Steps: Task first, stretch second — and your annotation should explain the why, not just the what.

Lundy Loop

Lundy Loop — Your Voice on the Wall

Why: Article 12 — your view counts here, and it genuinely changes what happens next.

🚪 SPACE

The Challenge Wall celebrates attempts, not just wins — a challenge you tried and missed still earns its card, and 'pass' is always allowed.

📣 VOICE

Say the challenge you nearly did not pick. Naming the hesitation is part of it.

👥 AUDIENCE

The wall has witnesses — a pledge said out loud is twice as likely to happen.

⭐ INFLUENCE

The challenges pinned decide what we make time for in tutor time and on trips.

AQA UAS 'Personal challenge'

1.

Which challenge did you nearly pick and reject? What does the rejection reveal about you?

Own reflection — what we avoid maps our edges as clearly as what we choose.

2.

Redesign one of your challenges to be 10% harder. Would you still pledge it?

Own redesign + honest answer — finding your true edge is the skill.

3.

Who is the right witness for your pledge — and why them specifically?

Someone who'll actually ask about it — kind pressure, well cast.

Scaffolding – Supported

Access & sensory notes (staff)
· The supported task today is: Choose your challenge picture cards and place your pledge sticker on the wall yourself.
· Fine motor: offer the chunky-grip pen, and accept a card sort or a spoken answer scribed by an adult — the judgement is the evidence, not the handwriting.
· Sensory: Pitching and presenting raise the temperature fastest. Rehearse to one adult before any group audience, and keep a written or recorded route open right to the end.
· Cognitive load: a completed small piece beats a half-done large one at moderation. Cut the target, never the thinking.
· Ring the level honestly on the witness sheet. Supported with the work finished is a stronger portfolio entry than Standard with it abandoned.

Lundy Loop — this lesson

Space → Voice → Audience → Influence. The adult’s first job is Space: regulate before you educate.

Space	The Challenge Wall celebrates attempts, not just wins — a challenge you tried and missed still earns its card, and 'pass' is always allowed.
Voice	Say the challenge you nearly did not pick. Naming the hesitation is part of it.
Audience	The wall has witnesses — a pledge said out loud is twice as likely to happen.
Influence	The challenges pinned decide what we make time for in tutor time and on trips.

Closing the loop: out loud, as a class, is enough here. Any inclusion counts — a nod, a word, a pointed finger. If a pupil wants theirs written down, an adult scribes it in their words. Pass is always allowed.
