The “Cookie Game”

• This game highlights how unfairly the World’s wealth is shared.


‘North’

•21% of the world’s population

‘South’

•79% of the world’s population

80% of this wealth stays with 20% of the people

20% of this wealth is shared amongst 80% of the people

50% of this wealth stays with 20% of the people

50% of this wealth is shared amongst 80% of the people

How would you feel if you had to share one cookie?

What would you do if you had 12 and a half cookies all to

yourself?


Term ThreeTypes of problems we face

• Bullying [cyber, school, etc]• Trying to fit in• Relationships• Anti social behaviour• Low self-esteem• Lack of confidence or self

belief


Our solution

Create a student code of ethics [designed by students for students] that will encourage the right types of behaviour and actions in Somerville students. This code of ethics will have a huge impact in our school and will go along way to solve the day to day problems some of us face.

Why ethics

Ethics are woven into everything we do. In any given moment we are either acting ethically or unethically. Ethics are like virtues/morals in that they define how we live our lives and can powerfully impact the lives of those around us.


What are ethics?

Ethics are related to human action. They define what is right and wrong. Ethics seek to define good behaviour and what should be valued.


The difference between laws and ethics

Laws are written, approved and enforced by the government. They are clear and usually logical.

Ethics are like rules of conduct. They are actions closely related to morals and virtues that society believes it should have. Break an ethic and you will likely face disapproval from your peers, family and/or the community.


Cyber SafetyPart of our solution to

some of the dangers we face in an increasingly cyber world was to create a series of educational videos aimed at keeping ourselves safe online.


We will now separate into our classes and return in the hall in

30 mins.


Room 9 = Room 9Room 10 = Staffroom

Room 15 = PACRoom 16 = Stay in hall


Term 4


In Reflection:Our fertile Question.


Now to end the night we will sing a song put together by Reuben.


It expresses how we feel about our time at

Somerville and moving on to College.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED

NEW LYRICS WRITTEN BY REUBEN SCOTT


We have all learnt to read and write, And we choose the road which is not

wrong, but right, Its a good lesson learned at Somerville


We’ve been the best that we can be

and if you ask my teacher, my friends or me

we’ve grown up and we’re sad to leave


Education’s what I need Satisfaction guaranteed to you

It doesn’t come with a price Gives us dreams and a brand new hope


Had fun times and made great friends now our Somerville adventure has to

end. so we’ve learned to persevere


I stand up for what I believe Even if it’s not such an easy thing But now it’s time to just move on


Education’s what I need Satisfaction guaranteed


Cause I’m thinking ‘bout the choice of roads

Which way should I go Now I know it’s time to go to college


instrumental


Education’s what I need Satisfaction guaranteed to you


It doesn’t come with a price But it gives us dreams and hope

cause I’m thinking ‘bout the choice of roads

Which way should I go, and I know


I should choose the right road that I know

It’s right for me and you, and I know


And I’m thinking ‘bout the choice of roads

Which way should I go Now I know I have to go to College
