Life Education

This week we began our Life Education sessions with Rachel (and Harold) in the mobile classroom. It has been very interesting so far learning about making choices and how each choice we make has a consequence which can be good or bad.

We have discovered that there are many positive and negative influences that affect our decision making. Some of these choices can affect our bodies and our health, particularly during puberty when our brains are growing and developing.

We have learnt that it is ok to say no to something which makes us feel uncomfortable!

 

 

Here are some pics from todays session where we looked at the different organs and what their jobs are...
