Discuss what the children have been doing to work towards their goal, referring to their Activity: Steps to success ladders from Lesson 4: Steps to success. Recap how they should be taking small, manageable steps towards their goals.
As a class, discuss any obstacles they may have encountered or why it might be difficult to persevere. Encourage them to celebrate small achievements which work towards a larger goal.
