Important Values

Important Values

It not about how people look nor is about how people dress up but it's about how everyone should always try their best to show respect, empathy and tolerance. Today I will be talking to you about some important values that I think we all need to share to get it back. For example, respect if we show it we get it back.

What is respect?

Respect is presenting an acceptable behaviour towards and adult, elder or just your family in general. Respect means treating someone with kindness and tolerance. For example, if someone is vegetarian and you have something that is a meat. Eating in front of them could be affecting their religion meaning you are disrespecting what they believed so you have to respect and accept that they are vegetarian. At school students are expected to respect other teachers. It is always respectful for a student to listen so that the teacher can give them the education they need.

What is empathy?

Empathy is like putting yourself in someone else's shoes to understand their lifestyle or just their personality. It’s just like the opposite of sympathy. The Definition of Empathy is the ability to understand and share feelings with another. For example, if someone is sad it's only good to talk with that person and understand what they are going through and just accept that the person feels that way.

What is tolerance?

Tolerance is sharing an idea or problem and respecting and accepting their opinion or problem. The definition of Tolerance is being patient, understanding and accepting of anything different. For example, if someone is smoking at the there house when you visit there it's only respectful if you accept it because it is their house. Tolerance also means accepting people for being a religion like Muslims, Christians, Catholic. In general, it means accepting people for who they are.


Remember It not about how people look nor is about how people dress up but it's about how everyone should always try their best to show respect, empathy and tolerance. For example, respect if we show it we get it back. I hope I have convinced you to spread kindness.

This week we had our first practice for our writing sample. Today I was writing about some about some important values like tolerance,empathy and respect.Respect is presenting an acceptable behaviour towards and adult, elder or just your family in general.Empathy is like putting yourself in someone else's shoes to understand their lifestyle or just their personality. Tolerance is sharing an idea or problem and respecting and accepting their opinion or problem. I think next time I should work on my punctuation and interesting words.

Gymastic

This week Steve (Gymnastic Instructor) came back to run our last session of Gymnastic. What we did first was played a game called Gymnastic Stuck in the mud. It was just like the regular game but if you got tagged you needed to do a Gymnastic Pose or stretch chosen by Steve. Next we got into the activity that we were doing for the block. Steve first showed us the thick beam and we needed to do a front Support and Back Support as well as side Support. The next activity was using the bar to help us use our legs to walk up the wall or Jump. After that we looked at the bar sports. We needed to have our legs high push in and out and push up and land. The last activity for Station one was the small bars. We needed to balance but have our legs tucked into our chest. The first activity on Station number too was the beam we needed to kick two times in the front and the same for the back. On the stage we needed to practices cartwheels on a blue line. We also needed to jump and twirl of the stage. The last activity was bunny hops over the small beam. The last Station was Station 3 the first activity was Backward roll,Forward roll,handstand and Cartwheel. The next activity was jumping on a spring and having a straight body.  The last activity was a dive roll. I had done this before but higher. This was tricky as I needed to tuck my body in before I rolled onto the mattress. A big thank you to Steve for Teaching us some really cool Gymnastic Skills as well as giving us the opportunity to do this activity.

Rhythm Interative’s visit to PBS

Today LS2 went to participate with the drumming that happened today. We had John come to our school and teach us some skills. He wanted to let us know that together we can make a change. We needed to listen to follow the correct beat or rhythm. He told us "If you can say it you can drum it " .We were using African drums called Djembe. Since our juniors were new to this type of activity we got to pair up with some of the students from room 1 and 4. My partner was Vaingalo and together we worked out the beat to each song. The first song was called I like drumming. Me and Vaingalo enjoyed the quick pats we needed to do on the drums. We first practiced each part of the song using our hands to learn the beat and then we started to use the drums. Did you know that Djembe in African means “ brings joy ”. A big thank to John for coming and giving us an opportunity to experience drumming and for also donating 7 drums to our school.
