Living and Learning: Body Image
At the end of last year, the pupils in Year 5 and 6 completed a My School My Health survey and one of the findings from the survey was how many of us have negative feelings around our own body image. This week, we had a Dove workshop all about self-esteem and body image. With many unrealistic images in the media and on social media, it’s important to explore our feelings and thoughts around this issue.
This is what some of the children had to say after the workshop:
“I will remind my friends not to say “I want to be like them,” but I will tell them to be themselves.”
“I will look at pictures and see how much editing/work they have done to this image. I need to say to myself that they are fake and don’t change yourself.”
“I pledge to think about myself in a better way and not compare myself to others.”
“I will remind people that we need to respect ourselves and others. I will disagree to negative comments on social media. “

In pairs, we created posters to show our 8Rs for learning. We will remember and use these 8Rs to help us learn throughout the year.
Living and Learning: democracy
On the last day of half term, the school councillors for this year were elected. The children read aloud and listened to speeches in their own class. Then the children went into the hall to vote for their class representatives; this was a very fair and democratic process. Congratulations to all the children who will be school council representatives for 2019-2020.
Whitby trip

This week’s homework is Talk Time.
This half term, our Christian value is friendship. Sometimes we find ourselves in difficult situations, which leave us in a moral dilemma. Talk to somebody about the examples below. What you would do in the same situation? Why are these moral dilemmas?
- You see your friend cheating in a maths test.
- You’ve been invited to two friends’ parties on the same day.
- Someone is saying unkind things about your friend behind their back.
Talk to somebody and make notes so you are ready to feedback in our homework review on Thursday 10 October.
