On October 19th, grade 7 spent the morning looking at the issue of Poverty as part of our Awareness of Issues theme in Life Skills. The day started in the PAC with an introductory session and then students went to 4 sessions run by grade 12 students. In these sessions they looked at various aspects of poverty, including education, war and conflict, diet and technology. The grade 12s had worked hard to ensure that the sessions were fun and interactive, as well as educational and the grade 7s appreciated this.
This week is UN Week and grade 7 have been spending Life Skills sessions looking at the work of the United Nations in various countries throughout the world. As this year is the UN International Year of Youth, we looked specifically at how the work of the UN can help children and young people. On Friday students can come to school wearing a T-shirt from any country around the world, or of an International event. They should bring $1 which will be donated to local charities. In addition many have already purchased their tickets for the UN lunch - tomorrow is the last day to bring the $2.
After half-term, COESAL will be delivering 4 sessions to grade 7 students on the topics of Self-Esteem and Eating Disorders. You will find out more about this at the Parent Partnership meeting tonight (6.30 in the PAC), but the main areas will be:
Autoestima. Me siento bien conmigo.
-Autoestima y autoconcepto.
-¿Qué afecta?¿Qué provoca?
-Autoestima: negativa-alta-sana.
-Estrategias.
-El valor de ser yo.
Desórdenes alimenticios. Tú y tu cuerpo.
-¿Cómo me veo?¿Cómo me siento?
-Definiciones
-Presión de cánones ¿te afecta?
-Distintas complexiones
-Estrategias
Cal 1 comes to a close in November, and your child's report will be ready for collection at the Parent-Teacher meeting on December 2nd. This will be an ideal opportunity for you to discuss your child's progress with his/her teachers and we would encourage you to speak to as many of them as possible.
See you at the Parent Partnership meeting tonight.
