Just wanted to share some Cool thoughts from Cool kids about Cool Schools. We've been discussing the different ways people can respond to each other especially in times of conflict. These personality traits have been illustrated as animals in the Cool School approach. Turtle, Teddy bear, Shark, Fox and Owl.

I am like an owl because I want to win and I want you to win too. I am also like a turtle because I am shy sometimes. Kyle

I think I am like a fox, a turtle and an owl because I am a bit sneaky, a bit shy and a listener. I also like to be creative with a listening mind and I listen to other people too.  Lucy

I think I am a shark because I like to get my own way. I am probably powerful as well as strong. I am probably a fox as well because I can be quite cunning and sly as well.  Joseph

I am like an owl because I want to win but I want you to win too. I am nice to people. I am a fox as well because I can be a little bit sneaky sometimes.  James

I am like a turtle because I am shy. I sometimes don't even talk to anyone. I am really like a turtle. I am also like an owl because I always want to make people happy and that makes me happy too. I love being happy as well.  Amelia

Great thoughts that  show some pretty deep thinking.
Check out this link if you are interested. It really is a COOL programme.
