One Voice Agenda 26/11/2024

Welcome back to One Voice!

Reflection Question:

In Collective Worship this week, Miss Lee read the story of the Wise Man and the Foolish Man. Can you think of a time when you made a good choice?

Important dates this week:

- This Sunday is the first Sunday in Advent. This is when Christians start the celebration of the birth of Jesus. A candle will be lit in church for the next 4 Sundays to countdown to Christmas. On the first Sunday in Advent Christians read stories of Hope.

News:

Please ask Sports Leaders to write down answers and keep them until the next meeting. Sports Leaders thought for Year 5/6, on a Friday break time, having one pitch Yr 5 football and the other pitch Year 6 football. What do children think? 

At break time on other days, it was suggested that one pitch be girls' football and one be boys' football each day or some days. What do children think?

Rights Respecting

How did your class celebrate World Children's Day? How did you decide what activities you would do? In our Rights assembly last week, we spoke about the Government and how it is important that they always think about the rights of children. Young people cannot vote in the general election until they are 18 years old so it is the job of the duty bearers to make sure children are involved in decisions and are taken seriously. Let's learn more about our decision makers!

What do you already know about the government?

The government is a group of people who come together to run the country. Keir Starmer won the last election and is our Prime Minister.

What is democracy?

Democracy is a form of government where:

• People have a say in how the government is run.
• Citizens can choose their leaders.
• Decision-making happens through voting.
• It values equality, freedom, and individual rights.

What is a manifesto?

A list of things that leaders promise to do if they win an election.

Discussion- Empathy

What is empathy?

Empathy is understanding how other people feel. It is feeling WITH somebody else. Empathy is showing kindness and respect to others. Empathy is being a good listener. We can all practise empathy. Can you discuss the below scenarios in a group and think about how the people would feel and what you could do?

Share your thoughts with the group and remember to be a good listener whilst others are talking, you might hear something inspirational!

Positive Affirmation for today:

Practicing morning affirmations can help you start your day on the right track. It puts you in a good headspace for tackling the rest of the day. This kind of positive self-talk becomes easier with practice and when you remember them they will pop into your head when you need it most. Can you remember last weeks? (I can be a hero)

I am a kind person.

Thank you and have a great week! 😊
