Dear all,
Firstly, a big thanks to everyone who attended the 'Back to School Party' on Friday evening and helped to make it such a fabulous evening. Thanks to the school band, Get Staffed, for their lively entertainment that helped cement the increasing feeling that we are all part of one good school.
This week's Food For Thought I hope builds on the atmosphere and ambiance that was present at the party and is designed to continue our thinking about who we are. This first video is a short poem about saying yes, and instead of finding reasons for not doing something changing our mindset to taking on new challenges and adventures.
The second link is to a website, Gratitude Revealed that has a portfolio of wonderful short videos that will make you think about key areas in your lives. Take your time to watch each of the different sections because they will certainly make you think about who you are and where you stand regarding each area. When I watched these videos I felt even more grateful for the life that I have and enjoy everyday. I hope that you will be similarly inspired and that you will be able to use this material to encourage your students to see how fortunate they are and how they can share their fortune with others around them. We all live in a beautiful world, full of amazing stories and potential, of opportunities to make the most of what we have been given no matter how big or small, in the end it is up to each one of us to make the most of our time. Of course this is far easier to achieve if we have a positive default, open mind and willingness to embrace life.
Have a great weekend,
Yours
Adrian
