Draw yourself searching for words.

For students to develop positive attitudes to life and healthy active lifestyles, it is important that we provide them with numerous opportunities to do good for others to feel good about themselves, and learn about healthy eating and exercise. This not only builds their own physical and social-emotional wellbeing, but it also brings the best out in other students around them.

Draw a picture of yourself running, swimming, riding a bike, skateboarding or other exercise you enjoy. Draw a picture of two types of fresh and healthy vegetables and fruit you like.

Draw a picture of yourself doing jobs at home to help. Draw a picture of yourself doing something good to help someone else.

Being able to recognise whether they are thinking sensibly with their rational mind, which we will call Dolphin Thinking (calm), or thinking with their emotional mind, which we will call Crocodile Thinking (snappy), is a valuable self-awareness skill to cultivate in students. Asking them often at home and in class, “are you thinking like a Dolphin or are you thinking like a Crocodile?”, will raise their self-awareness and self-control.

Dolphin Thinking – draw what I look and act like when I am thinking like a dolphin.

Crocodile Thinking – draw what I look and act like when I am thinking like a crocodile.
