Resilience

"Sometimes I'm happy. Sometimes I'm sad.

Sometimes I'm angry, sometimes I'm mad.

I have to remember, every day, 

To deal with feelings in a positive way."

Our focus is to be really resilient and ignore distractions.

We played bench ball, which really tested our resilience because we sometimes dropped the ball. The no goose guarding team made it fairer.

There were some questionable moments where people felt others weren't fair, and our competitive natures came out.

We talked about the emotions we felt while playing the game!

Ki o rahi trials

Our seniors had trials for the school Ki O Rahi teams today. It was great to see them managing the game themselves and having a great time!

Diwali

Siona explained to us about Diwali - the Indian Festival of Lights. 

As part of the celebrations, sweets are made. The type of sweet is different, depending on the part of India you are from. 

Siona is performing at the Horncastle Arena as part of the celebration.

Bible in schools assembly

Watch what you watch and watch what you eat.

Mr Marty and Roy were in today for our Bible Assembly to start the term. 

We gave Diesel some advice about how he should eat healthier. We need to think about how we can be healthier by eating healthier. 

We learned about how marketing advertisers trick us into recognising advertising logos and brands. The average child sees 15 advertisements advertising junk food. 

We talked about how we can help people who don't like to read. 

As always, we finished with a game of Zonk! - won by the boys 85 - 20

Our Last Rams Session

Today was our last session with the Canterbury Rams. 

We have absolutely loved having them with us, teaching us skills and getting us excited about basketball. There is always somebody using the new hoop!

Noughts and Crosses

We played noughts and crosses. It got quite frustrating at times, however we had make sure  we are staying positive. Katie changed the rules so we needed to make sure  we were listening so we knew what had changed. 

Katie shared an experience from when she was at school and struggled with math. She talked about how she could have dealt with it in a better way. 

We each had a numbered list of different emotions... Reece gave us a number. We needed to find a way to shoe the emotion for that number.
