Health and Family Life Education - Introduction | Grade 7

This is likely the first time that you have taken a class on H.F.L.E, and you might be wondering what it's all about.


H.F.L.E stands for Health and Family Life Education, and it is my goal as an H.F.L.E teacher to help you master life skills - skills that you will need now, and skills that you will need when you become an adult.
These "Skills" that I am talking about aren't what you usually think of when you hear that word, instead I will teach you how to: 
  • go about dealing with and solving the problems in your life. 
  • think critically and filter out wrong information.
  • manage your feelings (stress, depression, attraction, jealousy)
  • understand yourself as an individual and care for your body.
  • negotiate and communicate with people.
  • care for the environment and use resources responsibly.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines life skills as: "abilities which help us to adapt and behave positively so that we can deal effectively with the challenges of everyday life".

These are skills that you as a young person need to understand yourself and your environment, and develop the confidence to make good choices. You will also learn how to take positive actions for your own health and well-being. 
Through this subject of H.F.L.E, I want to help you develop your own ideal of who you are as a Human. At the end of this course, I would hope you will learn
  • skills to take more control of your life
  • who you are 
  • what you are expected to do as a member of society.

Revision of Grammmar rules | Grade 9

 There is/are  &  There was/were Rules:  1. "There is" is used with singular nouns (e.g: bread, Sun, James). "There are" is use with plural nouns (e.g: pans, dancers, Stars). 2. "There was" (singular form) & "There were" (plural form), are used as the past tense forms of "is" and "are". When a sentence starts with or includes the word " There ", the auxhilary verb that follows it (i.e: is, are, was, were ) must agree with the main noun in the sentence.
