Action

= Ideas for Action Mr Ben, Majo Perez, Laura Madrinan, Isabella Osorio and Majo Negret =

= 1. After surveying teachers, find out who is responsible for snack time for teachers and students. Do a campaign to have healthy snacks to improve relationships and moods of the people of the school. =

=2.Plan an hour with the pre-kinder and 2nd graders to do activities with them to educate them about the problems with using sweets at home and in school.=

Ideas for these activities.

a) To make a big poster showing the ways that poeple use candies at home and in school. So we will draw a sweet in the middle of a big paper and after explaining the activity and giving instructions (our task) the children will draw the ways in which they use and feel about candies at home and school.

After they have done the poster we will give them some fruits and a pack of sweets, we will film them and we will show them the different reactions between them with sweets and with candies.

=3. Day of no sweets (Fruit Day) The idea is to have a day where teachers and students come dressed in the colour of their favourite fruits. This will highlight the need to eat healthily and also improve relationships between people because it will be a fun day of no sweets and celebrate Colombias amazing selection of fruits!!!!!!!!= = = =4. A social experiment in a classroom environment observing the differences in behaviour and relationships between people when given 2 different types of snacks.=

The idea is to have 1 situation where all the kids and teacher eat pizza, chocolate cakes and coca cola and then have a math lesson afterwards. We will video the experience to see if their is a change in behaviour and to see how relationships are affected by these foods.

Then we will have a second situation where the studenst bring fruit and drink water only and then we will aklso videotape that lesson.

By doing this we can definately see if candies affect behaviour and relationships in positive or negative ways.

We can also = = = ACTION =

TYPES OF ACTIONS:
 * 1) DIRECT: TUTORING,CLEANING,FEEDING
 * 2) INDIRECT: WEBSIDE,FOOD DRIVE,FUNDRASING
 * 3) ADVOCACY: LETTERS,CAMPAIGN
 * 4) RESEARCH:CHANGING,GENERATING,PUBLIC O PRIVATE POLICY

Options:
1. make school educate students and teachers not to use sweets as they use it nowadays: Our school use sweets to reward students, to give to teachers in inset days, so we want to talk with the person who organize all of these situations and instead of giving candies give other type of food that the teachers prefer and to reward students it dosent need to be necessarily sweets right? THIS ONE

2. meeting with parents: we've planned to make a meeting with pre-primary's and the kinder garden's parents so we can talk to them about educating their kids that sweets are good, not to take away the candies, but to make them eat them moderately.

= ADJUSTMENTS = = Isabella Osorio, Maria Jose Negret, Maria Jose Perez, Laura Madriñan 16 May 2012 = the adjustments we've made on the action is that we'll make both of the options so we can make the school better plus, we'll change that the teachers want to give candies to their pupils including bubble gum and then, not let them eat it. we'll make a meeting with the kids and their parents instead of just the parents.
