This Week of School
_________________________________________________________________________________
Lately in class people have been going off and getting really mad. So our teacher, Ms Wilton. Thought it would be fun and calming to do some fun activities. But this main thing was a cafe. A cafe called the CERR Cafe.
At the Cafe we had different things we could order. But you had to save up tokens to buy the items you want. For example, if the teacher saw you doing something good, she'd give you a CERR token for you showing Compassion, Excellence, Responsibility or Respect.
So far I've got 2 tokens, and having got anything. There's this one prize where you get to go out for lunch with Mr Norman. But for that price, you have to save up to 20 tokens.
There also were fruit of the holy spirit cut out with different words on them, like goodness, and if you're showing "goodness" you will get that fruit that says goodness on it. And from the CERR Cafe, you can get ANYTHING from there with the cut out fruit. (By the way, the fruit isn't real. It's just laminated paper with a word on it)
We had the CERR Cafe area, and the CERR Cafe courtyard (aka the cloak bay). But those were for the year 8's only. So they could be chilled and getting ready for high school. But we also had the CERR Clubhouse, which anyone is aloud in.
Also for the CERR Cafe, there was workers (Aka year 8's). The jobs at the cafe were: 2 Cookers, a Cashier and a Cleaner!
The foods we could buy with our tokens were: toast (1 CERR Token) and Lollies (5 CERR Tokens). There was also some free foods which were: Cereal, Nuts and Bars. If you were hungry, you could ask for them for free. The drinks there were was: Hot chocolate, and you could add on marshmallows, (2 marshmallows for 2 CERR Tokens)
If you wanted to go to those places, you had to put yourself on wherever your going. (We made little sticks that look like us, and when we wanna move somewhere else that's calmer we can move there. But we just have to ask the teacher and move our stick)
We could also go to different class rooms instead of staying in Room 6 if it got a bit heated. But once again you just have to ask, then move your stick.
We got back into learning a bit more, but still had the CERR Cafe open, the fun activities, etc. But with the fun activities we had to start relating it to our learning. Like Reading. Sometimes people still got mad and went off, but they tried to keep their cool.
Overall, this was a fun thing to do for people to calm down, and enjoy their time. And do stuff for their "emotional well being".
