Motus dice Did you make a mistake while doing the activity?

When we want to learn something, it is normal to make mistakes at the beginning.

Failure is part of learning, remember when you first rode a bike, or when you tried to swim in the water?

Surely it wasn't easy at first, but every time you failed, you tried again. With each failure we learn from the mistake and improve it for the next time.

To learn from your mistakes, follow these tips: 

1. I realise where I have failed.

2. Look for ways to improve that mistake.

3. I try again.

4. I understand that mistakes are important for learning.

Don't forget: when you make a mistake once, you learn for the next try.
