Pri values - Aspiration & Gratitude 6: Cansu 2/2

Teacher notes

**Teach Part 1 first.** This is sixth and final session in the Aspiration and Gratitude unit from the Primary Year of Values programme. In Part 2 of this storyworld (and the final lesson of this unit), we revisit Cansu (Si-G) as her dream becomes a reality. We see her first professional recording session, her collaboration with mentor Omar G, and the filming of her debut music video celebrating her neighbourhood, Molenbeek. Through excitement, nerves, pride, and teamwork, Cansu shows how aspiration grows when young people feel supported, and how gratitude helps her stay grounded and confident. **Learning objectives**: Understand how perseverance, practice, and self-belief help turn aspirations into achievements. Identify ways gratitude strengthens determination and confidence. Make connections across three stories to recognise shared themes of courage, role models, and community support. Celebrate their own aspirations and consider who they feel grateful for. **National Curriculum Links** **PSHE / RSHE** • H25: recognising personal strengths and qualities • H27: developing self-belief and celebrating achievements • R8, R11: recognising supportive relationships and trusted adults • L25: setting goals and working towards them **Music** • Listening to and evaluating music from different traditions • Understanding how music communicates identity and emotion **Citizenship** • Appreciating diverse communities and cultures • Reflecting on how people contribute positively to local communities English • Speaking and listening: expressing ideas, feelings, reflections clearly • Understanding narrative and character motivation
