Today for our morning class 1B had emotional intelligence. We learnt that a person’s behavior is only a small part of how they are feeling. We also learnt that people show emotions differently and choose to cope with them differently. We watched a short video on happiness. They conducted an experiment asking people to think of someone who has influenced them or someone who is their role model. They then had to write a letter expressing their gratitude and call them telling them how grateful they are. This increased their happiness by 4-19%. On the topic of gratitude, we would like to express our gratitude to the teachers who took our groups on expo. A big thank you to Miss Merritt and Miss Bailee who took the core 1 girls and thank you also to Mr. Den Otter and Mr. Johnston who took the core 1 boys; without your help and support we wouldn’t have been able to do it.

Yesterday we did Thinking and Learning where we learned about the brain quadrants. In the HBDI diagram there are 4 colours that tell you what part your brain quadrant you’re dominant in. There’s blue – logical, green – organized, red – emotional and yellow - creative.
It was interesting to see what your dominant part was and how everyone’s was really different. Some people were really surprised by what theirs turned out to be. After that was Emotional Intelligence. We learned about expressing emotions and how some people keep theirs hidden. We got shown a video that was saying gratitude is the key to happiness and we often don’t express our gratitude and gratefulness enough to people. The video was basically saying you should, it will make you happier. Overall, it was a good day and we learnt a lot about ourselves.

Today 2A and 2B went surfing. This activity included having two professional surf instructors teach us how to surf. All together the instructors were super friendly and gave us a very thorough lesson. We travelled to East Cape; which was approximately a 10 minute drive away from the SSL. The both of us ended up standing up properly, which was quite an accomplishment, as well as quite a few others. In conclusion today’s surfing lesson was heaps and heaps of fun.
