In our class we go ‘fishing’ all the time. Our class values are linked to the FISH! philosophy, and we do the following:
- Play: We try to make even the most boring jobs into fun!
- Be There: We actively concentrate on being present in body and mind in class. And we’re there for each other!
- Choose your Attitude: We think about our attitude towards learning and towards each other. It’s much easier to solve problems, too, with the right attitude.
- Make their Day! We try to be kind to each other, and make each other’s day.
We are really excited about it all! How are you doing the FISH! thing?

We’ve been talking in class a lot about people making a difference to other people. We’ve had a look at characters like Simba from the Lion King, and the Alharu the Clown, and Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. We have also had a look at real people like Anne Frank and the Von Trapp Family.
Talking about all those people, made me think. What do I – Mrs T – have to change in myself to Make a Difference in class? Maybe I’ll have to be more patient when students speak to me while I’m busy. Or maybe I could smile more. Or sing more. Or laugh more with you guys. I’ll have to have a chat with all of you, and we’ll see what can be done!
What can YOU do to make a difference to our class? Think about it for a bit, and then leave a comment with your thoughts!
Cheers,
Mrs T
