‘Appreciate the work, people do for us’- value based project implemented for year 5 children

“Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.”-Booker T. Washington

Children in year 5G maintain a friendship club as the part of the Citizenship Studies. They had organized a cleaning session in the school to help the cleaners with the children in other two classes, year 5B and Year 5R yesterday, 25^th February 2014 from 2.30p.m to 4.00p.m to show appreciation for having the classrooms cleaned by the cleaners every day.

Children have learnt that they should be kind to everyone and show appreciation to those who do things for them, whom they cannot personally thank. They have also learnt that cleaners are also human beings and they should talk to them politely as they talk to other people.

They worked with enthusiasm having the spirit that they clean their own school; their second home.

They learnt and had fun helping the cleaners. This will have an impact on them that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

Children in year 5 classes will carry out this project by doing it once a month.

I thank wholeheartedly the Principal Sir for his immense support and the proper guidance and also the parents for sending their children to make it a success even though the term test is around the corner.

Cheer Up their hearts

In our lives,

We should help everyone

No matter who it is, we have to…

Cheer up their hearts… 

Today we helped the people

Who sweep and wash the floor

We never think they are not important

In everyone’s heart there is something special

Cheer up their hearts… 

Some people may think

We are crazy when we help the cleaners

But some will think we are good children

Cheer up their hearts… 

Let us help everyone

And cheer them all…

New Project Implemented for Year 5 & Year 6 Children

This simple task project will ensure best practices and behaviours among everybody in the section within a given month. It is called the stars of the month.

Objectives

-       To develop more love and care for the school among children

-       To develop love and respect among each other.

-       To make children aware that school will be a beautiful place only when they support each other in carrying out their responsibilities.

 

Action Plan

To introduce stars of the month task project

Rules to be maintained and how to carry out their duties

-       The ‘stars of the month’ (one class per month) is chosen by the Citizenship teacher based on their performances in the class.

-       They wear a badge which says “I am committed to shine bright” and they are also responsible for handing over the badge in good condition to the next class.

-       To make sure that all the classes in KS 2 look appealing for the teachers to walk in. Eg. Welcome board, charts, cleanliness of the class etc.

-       To update the Citizenship board with charts, poems, drawings to promote moral values. (Sharing, caring, friendship etc.)

-       To ensure that their friends are not fighting in the corridors, playground etc. The stars of the month can be the mediators to solve such problems or to help them avoid it.

 

Note: The duties and the role of the stars of the month will be explained to the children during the Citizenship period as they will be given authority to carry out their duties. This will be supported by the class teacher of the respective class for the month.

Summary

 

By practicing this simple concept for a start, I believe that the children will cultivate the habit of making the school a beautiful place while growing up beautifully. They will learn to share a vision and work for a common goal with unity. The gradual improvement of this will make the impossible, a possible with time. When taken this simple task seriously and with responsibility, it will eventually bring about a smooth operation of every day activity within the section and will carry forward with them in the future.
