- Pitfalls of taking shortcuts
- Planning your day
- Keeping safe
- Good communications
In the story, Spid doesn’t know how to spend his day off – until, after a big breakfast, he has an idea. It’s perfect. At least it should have been. But as so often happens for Spid, things don’t go quite as he planned …
So Spid learns some valuable life lessons.
How does this help fuel a ‘growth mindset’?
This story demonstrates the folly of taking shortcuts to reach your goal; do a good (quality) job. Also the benefits of planning and determination; if you keep going and you’ll get there in the end
