GBA Actioneers 2018/19

GBA Actioneers has grown and grown since its introduction in 2016!  It is a time when pupils are given the opportunity to ask questions, reflect on things happening elsewhere in the world, explore their own values and the values of others and develop a knowledge and understanding of the world in which we live.

Class One related the question to conflicts in the playground.  They advised:

• Ask an adult
• Say sorry if you're wrong
• Play nicely
• Ask other children to join you
• Be nice and don't hurt each other

Here are some of the answers that were given in class two and three:

'If the world was a bit more quieter and calmer the world would be a lovely environment to live your life in.  Smile to one another and eventually, if you put a smile on everyone's face, then the word will be a happy place.'

'Don't let children become violent and see the world with kind eyes.  A smile a day makes a kind place.'

'By Communicating and listening and also helping and seeing the good in the person.  Having a good time and staying calm.'

'If we work together and stop fighting peace will break out so will have rights all around the world.  This will mean a stop of poverty and homelessness.'

Pupils worked collaboratively to organise the pictures given to assess how polluting they thought each thing was.  They then considered the questions about what they could do to reduce pollution.  They suggested:

• walking instead of driving
• don't leave the car running for longer than necessary
• use electric cars
• to work together to use less things
• turn lights off
• share cars with family and friends
