Do adverts put too much pressure on young people?
Farhan is one of two Advisors to the Children’s Comissioner from Moortown Primary. To all children and young people, he writes:
Do you feel that you have to buy certain things and look a certain way just to be cool?
The goverment has promised to help and protect young children from bad advertising, so the Children’s Commisioner for England would like to hear your views. She would like as many children and young people to fill out this survey so that your opinions can be put into action.
The survey will only take about 10 minutes and there are no right or wrong answers – this is all about your views and feelings. Nobody will ever know who gave what answers – it is totally anonymous, so please be honest!
The closing date is Friday 28th January 2011.
Thank you.
Farhan

SEAL statement 17 Jan
As we continue our 7 Rs for learning, our new statement for the week is ‘I can be resilient.’
Research shows that resilient children have high expectations, goals and inter-personal problem-solving skills.
Resilience in school may be observed as how a child bounces back from a set back.
