What’s with the name? ![]() Dubai ![]() Carrot Man imposter This is the first class to name itself. I suggested really cool names like, Cyber nuts and doofers heads but no, they stuck to their guns and went for Carrot Man. Now this man carrot is a super hero created by one of the students so there. Other suggestions were Jelly Bean Man, and Spider Pee (I wonder if they do). Big heyWe are ‘big small’ group (that’s an oxymoron, like 'Army Intelligence'). Special Hi to: Chris PC (not because he hates Mac), Sasha, Laura, Lisa, Jess, Maddy, Clare (she’s without an eye poor thing), (e) Brooke, Miriam, Chris Family questionLots of Carrot Man students picked the family question. There was a lot of variation between those who were happy where they were and those that wanted to change. Oldest kids in their family were pretty settled; they liked the freedom that their responsibility earned them. Trust is very valuable and deserves to be nurtured and kept safe. Some who are not the oldest wanted to swap places with their siblings. Some wanted top spot because of they felt they couldn’t fill their eldest sibling shoes. Success, what is it? ![]() the Rev wants to come Some students shared that they felt under pressure to perform and to be successful. Money was the first answer to the question, what is success. But then we worked on it a bit more and found that there is an expectation that the students will go to Uni so that they can get a good job. But I wondered what was wrong with being a plumber. Where does this come from? So where does this pressure come from? Media, teachers (there in the system) and parents. Success = happyIn the end we did get to success being what made you happy. For example someone may be happy having a family above a high flying job. Holidays ![]() PC's family; but which one? Here are some of the more exotic destination that students would like to go to if they could. However, some students chose places not because of the place but the memories or the desire to visit family. |
