Life Skills - Term 2 - Week 9

Personal development is about growing and improving ourselves. It includes making good choices that help us stay healthy and treat others with respect. Today, we will discuss what it means to make healthy choices, such as eating nutritious foods, exercising, and being kind to our friends.

Let's look at a scenario: Sarah has a choice between an apple and a chocolate bar for her snack. If she chooses the apple, she is making a healthy choice that will give her energy. If she chooses the chocolate bar, it might taste good but won't help her feel strong. Discuss with your partner what Sarah should choose and why.

Now, let's practice respectful behavior through role-playing. I will give you different scenarios, and you will act them out. For example, if someone is feeling sad, how can you show kindness? Think about words and actions that can help. After each role-play, we will discuss how it felt to be respectful and how it can help our friends.

To wrap up our lesson, I want you to think about one small goal you can set for yourself this week. It could be drinking more water, helping a friend, or trying a new healthy food. Write down your goal and draw a picture of how you will achieve it. We will share our goals with the class tomorrow!
