Here's the blog post about Social Justice...
Social Justice - the concept of fair and just relations between the individual and society, as
measured by the distribution of wealth, opportunities for personal activity, and social
privileges.
Notions of social justice generally embrace values such as the equal worth of all citizens,their equal right to meet their basic needs, the need to spread opportunity and life chances as widely as possible, and finally, the requirement that we reduce and, where possible, eliminate unjustified inequalities.
If you want to know more about Social Justice, here are first the 3 values;
Fairness - The quality of treating people equally or in a way that is right or reasonable
Non-discrimination - To be inclusive, include people
Inclusiveness - The practice or policy of including people who might otherwise be
Here are also their family words and when they’re not upheld (their opposite);

Non-discrimination;

Inclusiveness;

Now that we learned what Social Justice is, this next one is called Equality VS Equity and
what’s their differences.
Equality: Generally refers to equal opportunity and the same levels of support for all
Equity: Goes a step further and refers offering varying levels of support depending
Here’s the reason…
The difference between equality and equity must be emphasised. Although both promote
fairness, equality achieves this through treating everyone the same regardless of need, while
equity achieves this through treating people differently depending on need.
Hope you learned this post view and you too can learn a lot more to Social Justice & Equality/Equity!!!
Here's my blog post from PE,
How would you rate your effort in today’s session, I say...
During the 1 minute challenge, I would rate my effort 100% high because the purpose of this is to get a base indication on where we are in terms of our Fitness Levels, in all areas.
In order to get more benefits out of the Fitness sessions, one thing you can do to be better for the next session is...
I can do 1 minute base fitness better by 1 min rest in between exercises.
The benefit of this is that once I know the Base Fitness I’m able to set goals for improvement by the end of the first part of the Fitness Studies Unit.
one thing that you have achieved today that you are proud of is that...
I achieved all 1 minute exercises and I am proud because the best thing about this is, you don’t need any equipment, just some space, a good attitude and a timer.
Resting Heart Rate:
15 x 4 = 60 beats per minute(bpm)
Hope you enjoyed today's blog post and you too can improve more benefits for the next session at PE!!!
On the first week back to school on Term 3, 9KMe spent their periods preparing for a project showcase on Thursday at 5PM.
Gratitude - the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
If you want to know how that works, we can practice some gratitude exercises so that we’re able to access neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity reveals that we can physically reallocate connections between our brain cells.
Here are some benefits of gratitude on well-being;
M/E (Mental/Emotional) - Gratitude and humility go hand in hand; they are mutually reinforcing. Expressing gratitude induces humility in us, and humility increases our capacity for experiencing and conveying gratitude.
SO (Social) - Gratitude is well-known to promote prosocial behaviour. The more grateful you are, the more likely you are to help others. As your cup overflows, you feel a natural urge to help others.
PH (Physical) - Gratitude trains our mind to see the positive, rather than the negative. When looking into the future, this results in a more positive outlook. The more grateful we are, the more optimistically we look to the future.
SP (Spiritual) - Just like humility and gratitude go hand in hand, so do spirituality and gratitude. The more spiritual you are, the more likely you are to be grateful, and vice-versa.
Gratitude is also strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.
Here are the ideas how can we grow/develop Gratitude;
Emote: Feel the gratitude within you, don't just think about it.
Extend: Extend your gratitude to the people around you, instead of focusing on yourself.
Exercise: Practice/do your daily gratitude exercises.
Gratitude is perhaps the best researched emotion out there, and it might just be the most powerful one as well. Once you also see how beneficial being grateful is, then you can move on to practicing different ways to develop gratitude.

Here’s also my Gratitude jar. It’s called my Gratitude Christmas Wish List Jar, and this is how I grow/develop my Gratitude;
Exercise:
Few more days before Christmas. I will get my paper, pen & jar and begin my gratitude time. To ensure I remember, I will schedule at 7 am on my calendar from Term 2 to December so I can get settled & ready for the next day and complete the gratitude wishes everyday.
Emote:
I’ll make sure I’m in a peaceful space for what I’m wishing for. When I wish for something I will focus on feeling what I am thinking of what I needed, not just doing it for what I wanted.
Extend:
For what I’ve shared that I’m grateful for everything, as the number of days has passed everyday, I will try to extend more of my gratitude and do something to show how grateful I am for any person/people that cared for me.
Hope you learned and enjoyed and you too can grow/develop your own Gratitude!!!
