Kindness Posters

Room 17 has been considering how important it is to be kind. They have been creating simple, compound and complex sentences related to kindness. They looked at some quotes and considered how they could write ones that would reflect their personalities.

 A brainstormed list of 'Random Acts of Kindness' that could be done was created. As part of the homework for the week, the students had to carry out some RAoK and record the results and actions that happened.

The results of the Kindness posters with quotes that reflect the students' personalities are reflected below.

Life Education Caravan Visit

Starting the lesson on personality types.
 Sitting inside the Life Education caravan for the first visit, awaiting Harold's visit.  He did not appear until the end of the third visit.

After the three sessions, we understood what the definition of a drug was.  It is something that alters the brain or the body. It is either ingested, injected or inhaled. It was interesting finding out the things that do affect our bodies, including alcohol, cigarettes, tea, coffee and even Milo!

We found out that many people begin their journey to drug addiction through using marijuana.

We looked at personality types and it was incredibly interesting to know that there is a wide range of attributes for each one of them.  Green personalities like being organised, Blue types like to be in control, Red personalities let others worry about doing things or leave them until the last minute and Yellow personalities work best in groups or teams. We could all identify where we sat as far as personalities were concerned.
Anne, getting us to think about the words that identify our personalities.

Looking at criteria that related to drug addiction through case studies seen on a video.

Room 17 were all keen to see him, as he does not normally come out for our age range.
