I Belong Project

“I Belong” Bag

A Year 4 Project

A sense of belonging is a vital part of a healthy learning environment in which people can flourish.

To develop and foster a sense of belonging for the students in our class, we ask that each individual class member takes home this project each week to be returned the following Friday.

The task involves bringing three or four special, important, prized or valued items that really mean a lot to the student.

Examples could be:

·      A photo of someone special

·      A special item found/purchased on a holiday

·      A favourite book

·      Special toy/teddy from early childhood

The student is asked to explain the significance of the item. The idea is that through this experience, a sense of empathy will develop towards other people’s backgrounds and lives.

Please do not bring in items of great value.

We look forward to everyone’s participation in this unique Year 4 experience.

Regards

Mr Torrese and the Year 4 class 2014
