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.
SEAL statement 04 Jan
This half term we are focussing on 7R’s of learning in place of our usual SEAL topic. The first statement is ‘I can take responsibility to learn well.‘
We shall be looking at a different area of learning each week, starting with responsibility.
Taking responsibility for learning may include:
- using listening skills in lessons
- asking questions
- contributing and working well in a group to complete a task
- bringing guided reading books, spelling books etc to school when needed
- learning spellings and tables at home
- completing homework
What are the most important features of a family car?
In a topic lesson this half-term the class had to sort nine features of a family car by deciding which were the most important to which were the least important. We then repeated the activity, but this time we sorted the same features for a rally car. This led to a really interesting debate about the importance of the various features!
