It's not over when you lose, it's over when you quit!

This morning in Room 11 we talked about never giving up.  Mr. Brock showed the class the video clip below which shows Derek Redmond in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona.  He did not give up even after suffering a very painful injury.

What do you think?

Stereotypes

In class this morning we talked in length about the boy in New Zealand who was not allowed to go to school as his hair was too long.  The class decided that this was unfair and that we should not judge people based on what they look like on the outside.

We also talked about first impressions and how this can have an effect on what people think of us.  Maybe that was the lesson the school were trying to teach the boy with the long hair?

Mr. Brock remembered a video he had seen when he was a boy.  He has put it on the blog below.  Have a look.  Your comments would be most welcome.
