This week our school-wide living and learning statement has been ‘I respect myself’. We talk about the word respect often in school. One of our school rules is ‘We’re respectful.’
In 2C we had a discussion about what it means to be respectful. Last week we spoke about respecting others and their protected characteristics such as religion, race and culture. Our discussion this week involved ways we can respect our bodies and keep them healthy such as eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly.
2C spoke about the fact that everybody is different but that is okay. For our Living and Learning task we did an activity where we each drew the head of a creature/ animal or human. We then folded the paper over and passed it to a friend who then drew a body and arms. After this we passed the paper on again and the final person drew legs. Finally, we got our original drawings back and unveiled the creature that had been created. We then spoke about how all of the pictures were different and we all have different ideas/ styles of drawing and that this should be respected.
