What a great first day back!
Assembly with the Mayor of Wetherby
We started the day with an assembly with the Mayor of Wetherby, Connor Mulhall. Connor explained what he loves about being the Mayor of Wetherby and shared with us some of the traditions associated with the role. Children were keen to find out how he became Mayor and some even said they would like to do something similar when they are older. We talked about democracy and Connor urged the children to vote in any elections when they are old enough.
Finally, Connor said that to him, community means people helping each other. How does this compare to what you understand community to mean?
Self Esteem Workshop with Unilever
Thinking about looking after ourselves and being part of a caring community, we worked with some of the team on self esteem.
We discussed what it means to have body confidence, how comparing ourselves to others can be unhelpful and how to change the topic away from body talk (what people look like) to something more interesting such as what they are doing, what they are interested in or the skills they have.
