Time to reflect on your first year at high school.
Think about
2 things
that you have enjoyed at high school. This could
be things like being able to go down the street for lunch or doing
experiments in science. Make sure to explain why you have enjoyed
them.
Now think of
1 thing
you haven’t enjoyed about high school. Examples
could be having double periods of lessons or having to wear a tie
everyday. Again, remember to give a reason.
What is the letter to big me?
You’ve now had nearly a whole year in S1. Congratulations, there have
been many aspects of change for you all throughout the past few
months and you will have now settled into the routine of life at CCHS.
It’s time to reflect on what things have gone well and what areas of
your learning need work. Over the next couple of weeks we are going
to be setting some targets and creating a letter to “big me”. This letter
will be something that is totally private to you and addressed to
yourself. You will write this letter and seal It in an envelope. We will
store these for you and in S4 you will be given them back to open.
