On Friday 29th September 2017 at Assembly, a group of P3 pupils joined Send A Cow Ambassador, Robert Stephens, in presenting how they are taking action as global citizens in support of four of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Our three Primary Three classes are again leading the whole school Harvest Appeal with their Class Teachers and DHT Ms Anstruther, which this year is in support of the Send a Cow charity.
Each child in P3 is producing hand drawn collection envelopes which will be distributed to each of our families. If all our families contribute £1 we will reach a goal of £640 and be able to gift a cow to a family in Africa. Primary Three pupils are taking on different young workforce lead roles for their appeal campaign, such as Communications, Publicity and Finance.
Send a Cow Ambassador, Robert Stephens, spoke with passion and eloquence to explain to the children how the charity works with families in Africa to provide training in not only animal husbandry but also in sanitation, irrigation and keyhole farming. He relayed the story of Jennifer whom he had visited in Uganda and saw first hand the huge difference the project had made to her life and that of her family. Jennifer was able not only to provide milk and vegetables for her own family, but could sell surplus at market to pay for tools, medicine and schooling. Perhaps most telling was Robert's final slide which showed that Jennifer had reached such a self-sufficient stage that she was able to purchase an ornamental vase, merely because she 'liked it.'
Primary Three invited everyone to help Make A Difference by supporting their appeal with donations in the envelopes and also contributing to their planned bake sale on Friday 13th October. We wish them great success in their endeavours and thank Robert for his gracious time supporting the children.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.

4. An Unforgettable TRIP
My trip to Delhi_____________________________
My family and I planned a five - day summer trip to north India. The trip was a great
surprise for me because I’dnever been to any place beyond my own state earlier in my life.
I was really excited and counting my days as we planned for the most awaiting trip. We
planned to travel through British airways. That was like an icing to a cake because this
was my first experience through air and I had great expectations.
We were at the airport 2 hours before our flight. It was a total new scenario for me. As
soon as the clock struck 12 we boarded our flights. Unlike trains, airplanes had a
systematic seating arrangement, perfect punctual timings as well as great hospitality. I
was impressed by the way air hostess greeted us on our boarding. We were served
delicious food and creamy coffee as the flight boarded. It didn’t take long for us to reach
our destination. I had butterflies in my stomach as soon as the flight swooped down
from the skies and landed on the pavement.
We were received by our close cousins on Delhi airport. The were overwhelmed to see us
all because we met time for the first time in last ten years. We were welcomed with
immense happiness to their place. After having a short conversation with them we were
guided to our rooms where we got freshen up and had a nap before we can plan ahead on
our vacation. Then around 7’o clock we were served dinner followed by a short get
together with close families. Everybody was enjoying their time talking about the olden
times.
The next morning we planned to see some of the great monuments like red fort, India
gate etc. It was a way more better place than the south side as the temperature was low.
Then we started visiting some worshipping places like mosque,...
5. An Opinion Article
CHILDREN ARE EATING TOO MUCH FAST FOOD, DO YOU AGREE?
Globally, fast food restaurants are becoming more and more frequent these days. It is
commonly seen that most younger ones are attracted to t junk food. This essay explains
why people are interested in fast food and what are the risks caused by consuming this
kind of food.
Firstly, due to our stressful and busy lives we do not have enough time to prepare food at
home . As a result, we prefer to eat outside in order save time and energy. For example, a
working woman comes home after her busy day and she will probably have to cook food
for her or for her family. Thus, eventually, she might prefer to take her family out for
dinner. This makes it clear why children like t0 go (/are used to going) to restaurants and
fast food centers.
In addition, consuming non-healthy food causes serious health problems. For example, food
restaurants are mainly concerned about the yummy taste of the dishes but not about the
vitamins or proteins. As a result, children do not realize about the risks caused by eating
that non-healthy food because of their immature mind. Thu, non-energy food may cause
diet problems and make the person weak.
In conclusion, parents should take care of their children diet even when they go out. It has
been proved that young people are attracted to junk food, but they are not aware of its
dangers. Each and every individual should follow some basic diet instructions to keep fit
and healthy.
