WORKING ON VALUES lulaslk https://padlet.com/lulaslk/9x5rcsyuj97t/wish/135034112 During the school year 2016-2017, the teachers of the CP Antonio Machado are going to work on different values. Given the opportunity to visit two different schools here, I wanted to know which values they promote.

Motivated – they are passionate about learning, willing to try hard even when it is difficult

Resilient – can deal with setbacks and see them as part of learning

Positive Citizens of the World – know ‘right from wrong’ and are good members of the city.]]> 2016-11-03 11:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/lulaslk/9x5rcsyuj97t/wish/135035240 Queen's Hill lulaslk https://padlet.com/lulaslk/9x5rcsyuj97t/wish/135035445 Throughout everything they do in school, the children are taught and encouraged to...
  • develop their self-knowledge, self-esteem and self-confidence.
  • respect others.
  • accept responsibility for their behaviour, show initiative, and to understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in the locality of the school and to society more widely.
  • acquire a broad general knowledge of how to conduct themselves and show respect in various public places e.g. how to behave in church.
  • distinguish right from wrong and to respect the law of England.
  • be tolerant of differences between various cultural traditions by enabling students to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures.
  • appreciate that other people may have different views from your own and have some understanding of a democratic process.

Working with the values into the classroom lulaslk https://padlet.com/lulaslk/9x5rcsyuj97t/wish/135036871 Inside each classroom, you can see posters defining the values they are working on. The teachers explain the students the meaning of the words and work on them throughout their lessons. They have a “reward ladder” on the wall in order to promote those values during each school day: all the students start in the morning on green, and then they can move upwards or downwards according to their behaviour. I prefer the one used in WEJS because there are three positive colours, instead of just one. I have also noticed that, in both schools, teachers try to motivate students as much as possible.

Outside the classroom lulaslk https://padlet.com/lulaslk/9x5rcsyuj97t/wish/135037000 During school assemblies, the teachers and the head teacher talk about different activities related to values. Through songs and videos, they teach the school’s values in a different and motivating way. 
In WEJS, the values can be read from the entrance, which is a good way to involve the whole school community. 
In Queen’s Hill, they promote respect for animals by having a classroom pet.
