Life Skills - Term 3 - Week 7

Personal development is about growing and improving ourselves in various aspects of life. This includes making healthy choices, being respectful to others, and understanding our feelings. In this lesson, we will discuss how our choices affect our health and relationships. By learning to make better decisions, we can lead happier and healthier lives.

Let's consider a scenario: Sarah is feeling stressed about her schoolwork. She has two options: she can choose to stay up late to finish her homework or ask her teacher for help. Discuss with your partner what Sarah should do and why. This example shows how making a healthy choice, like asking for help, can lead to better outcomes for her well-being.

In groups of four, create a short role-play based on a situation where you have to make a healthy choice. For example, you might act out a scenario where you choose between playing video games and going outside to play with friends. After your role-play, discuss as a class why the choice you made is important for personal development and health.

Now it's time to reflect on what you've learned. Write down one small goal you want to achieve this week that relates to making a healthy choice or being respectful. For example, your goal could be to drink more water each day or to help a classmate with their work. Share your goal with a partner and discuss how you plan to achieve it.
