The core competencies in our new BC curriculum focus on the intellectual, personal and social skills that are an important for 21st century learners. One of those core competencies is personal and cultural identity. It involves building an awareness, understanding, and appreciation of who we are and how our relationships and culture have helped shape who we are as individuals. Over the past week, we’ve put lots of thought into choosing different artifacts that represent our family, our culture, our peers and ourselves, and have reflected on why/how the artifacts are important to us. We then shared our artifacts with the class. It has been amazing to hear everyone’s stories and see everyone so engaged. A highlight of the week for sure! This week we also had a visit from our PE helping teacher. He led a great discussion about the health benefits of being physically active. Regular exercise has shown to reduce the risk of several physical illnesses, including some cancers and diabetes, as well as several mental health illnesses, such as depression, stress, and anxiety – so it’s important for all of us! Although it is recommended that we exercise regularly, many of us don’t take the required number of steps needed in a day in order to be considered “active”. Our helping teacher brought along a class set of pedometers and taught us basic steps on how to use them. Next week we’re going to track our physical activity to see how many steps we take in a school day to find out how active we are. We’ll be gathering data, so we’ll also be using graphs to represent our steps. So stay tuned!
