YEAR 4 AFFIRMATION AFTERNOON

From some of the students:

On Monday 13 November, Eric taught us about ‘The POWER of WORDS.’ Like one bad can change somebody’s life. He told us about how he was bullied and called ‘ugly’ and more. Later, we were separated into groups – boys and girls. Sandy was talking to the girls and Eric was talking to the boys. My Kan talked to the boys about puberty. Puberty is about when you are born and you grow up. At the end the boys and girls have different goodie bags. Fabulously, the Year 4s finished the day off with style. By Jaiden Senaratna

Yesterday was an experience I will never forget. Eric and Sandy Agyeman both spoke with power. The first session Eric spoke about the topic, “Words carry power” and that our tongue either speaks the power of death or life. After lunch, girls and boys split up and the girls talked about growing up and how to handle it. In the end, we bought a goodie bag home full of encouraging and appropriate kits. I would love to meet Eric and Sandy again. By Victoria Hartono

The Year 4 Affirmation was a special event. We had two special guests: Eric and Sandy Agyeman. Eric taught us about the power of the tongue. The boys got goodie bags and inside was something marvellous. By Ethan Sun

On Monday 13 November Eric and Sandy Agyeman came to Lighthouse’s Affirmation Afternoon for the year 4 boys and girls. The event went from period 4 to 6 and at the end we got a goodie bag with some cool stuff inside. Mr Kan, Miss Suh and Miss White also had a few words too. We talked about the power of words, affirmation and puberty (growing up). What a day! By Zachary Tan

Yesterday we had an incursion in the afternoon – to tell us that puberty is normal for everyone and not to be scared of. We got wristband prizes in the first session, “The Power of Words.” Two people (Wiliam 4S and me, Annabelle) shared a thank you speech at the end. Then, after lunch, the boys and girls split up. In the girls session we got a ‘Daily Affirmations’ poster with lots of compliments about ourselves. By Annabelle Guo

Eric Agyeman taught us all about growing up. We learned about lots of people get bullied so you should be an up-stander not a by-stander. A by-stander is someone that does not help and encourages the bully. On the other hand, an up-stander is like you stand up for them. And we learned that boys have a king in them and girls have a queen in them. The lesson was very fun! By Rlushil La

On 13th November Eric Agyeman came to LCC and talked about the POWER OF WORDS. It was a very lovely and important topic to talk about. It made me learn that if I think I’m not ever enough, I really am. I am truly a child of His, not any other. Also, not only about the power of words but how important words are. They can heal them or down them. It was a deep and true session. By Thalia Heav

Yesterday Eric told us that everything we do, we should not be jealous, even if it’s really cool. Next, he taught us about others feelings. HE said that don’t judge people by their skin colour. We shouldn’t make fun of people by their skin, height, smart or not, and their personality. This lesson was very fun. By Anthony Nguyen

When Eric and Sandy Agyeman told us about the back story of when he was a ten year old kid, when I heard his story I really wanted to be there and support him and stand up for him. In the girls’ group we learned to never be scared because God is always with us and we earned candy and glasses. What stood out to me is that we are all the same and we are all a spiritual family of God’s children and we were born to help and love, not to hurt or kill. I was so glad I was able to be a part of it and this was an excellent opportunity to be able to speak to Eric and Sandy. By Louella Guo

On Monday 13th November all the students in Year 4 went to an incursion. There is the Zenith building we met a man called Eric and a woman named Sandy. When Eric was young he was bullied by other kids. After that the girls and boys were separated and at the end they were given a goodie bag. It was fun for the Year 4s.

Monday 13 November Eric Agyeman talked about not being a by-stander but to be an up-stander. We talked with Sandy and she told us to be ourselves and not what other people say about you. We also learned about what happens to us when we grow older and that it’s all of God’s plans to make us from childhood to adulthood/. In the end we got goodie bags. It was an amazing experience.

On the 13the November 2023, Eric and Sandy Agyeman taught us about all being special and a king and queen inside. We also had Miss Suh and Miss White talk about puberty to the girls and Mr Kan to the boys. Eric explained how words from a bully almost changed his life but Jesus helped him. We had fun activities and outstanding fun! In the end after 3 periods we went to touch grass. By William Kuoch
