Y3G learned about healthy relationships focusing on building the foundations of respect, empathy, communication and personal boundaries. Today, we focused on trust and how trust is the foundation of healthy friendships and relationships. Children learn that trust means being honest, reliable and keeping promises. We completed our activity in pairs.
Y3G had their first session of Leadership development workshop with Chris Reddy in our new summer term. In our session, we talked about responsibility and honesty in leadership. We discussed that being honest is being brave and accept the truth with responsibility. Honesty in leadership encourages open communication by setting a foundation of trust. Being honest gives us peace of mind, self-respect and helps create a better society.
Thank you to all our parents who came to our Easter Crafts event yesterday. It was fantastic to see everyone enjoying time together making Easter cards and decorations. A big shout out to the Year 5 pupil leaders too who helped organise the event on the day.
Year 3B checked in to see how they were getting on with their goal to carry out little acts of leadership. Well done to the children who have returned their booklets and shared how they felt during the challenge.
We thought about what qualities our super hero leader would have. We thought about what our super hero mission would be.
Encourage others to recycle, smile at others or help to keep the environment tidy,
This afternoon, Year 3 have been getting creative.
They were given a leaf template to cut out, and using wax, wrote on the leaf about their aspirations and what they would add to Farnworth to make it a better place.
The leaf was then painted over so that that their wax designs stood out.
The children had some amazing ideas and showed their caring sides, ideas such as wanting to be a teacher, owning a chocolate factory and cattery. To make Farnworth better some would show kindness, make country parks, more hospitals and homes for the homeless.
These art projects will be displayed at the new Farnworth library on the 14th March.
Today, Year 3 Blue were able to share some of their leadership skills with parents and talked further about what makes a great leader. Leaders must be good communicators, be able to manage their time, be resilient, be fair and be able to use their initiative.
The children works in team and pairs to complete a task which required them to listen to instructions carefully.
The children have been set a challenge to complete little acts of leadership at various levels over the next 2 weeks: they must try to do various acts at a personal, household and community level. Ask an adult to tick off when you have completed a task and return the booklet to school by the 10th March. Let’s see what we can achieve as leaders!
Today Y3G welcomed their parents for their ‘Community Leadership Workshop’ in the class. What an amazing turn out! We want to say a big thank you to all the parents/ carers who came to attend our workshop. Y3G showed their leadership skills to their adults. We practised our listening, communication and cooperation skills together. Children and parents have done different activities together focusing on levelling up with their leadership skills. We showed how to take initiative, learned about strategic thinking and effective communication. Chris Reddy ( Bright Leaders) explained to the parents about our Community Leadership Challenge, What makes a great Community Leader? The Children received a booklet with leadership challenges/ activities to take home and will be ticked off each leadership challenge by an adult at home when complete. We will collect the booklet in 2 weeks to see how many of our young leaders complete their leadership challenge.
Today, Year 3 Blue prepared for their upcoming workshop with Bright Leaders where adults from home will be able to join them to see how they have been developing their leadership skills.
They practised leading a task and projecting their voices.
The children worked together to solve problems and discussed using initiative.
