We have started back with a hiss and a roar, diving straight into our new Inquiry - Do Good Feel Good! It's really more of a question than a statement ...... as we ponder does 'doing good make us also feel good'? We have started this week with a couple of visitors. Through our Philosophy for Children sessions we've also started thinking about who we care the most about in society and why that might be. We're looking at this Inquiry from a variety of angles leading into taking action.
This Inquiry is also backed up by the research into Positive purpose and its effect on young people. McKnight and Kashdan (2009) looked into purpose in life and found (unsurprisingly) it is important in terms of your physical health as well as your ability to cope in stressful situations and persevere. We know that learning how to lead a meaningful life is going to help our students as the grow up.
