YCDI

In Term Four, students will continue to learn a variety of Social and Emotional skills guided by the Five YCDI Keys to Success, as well as the School’s Guiding Statements. Students will primarily learn through real-life scenarios and create role plays that demonstrate positive social skills. Our focus for Term 4 will be on negotiating through social scenarios and positive conflict resolution. Through this, students will understand that their actions will always have an impact on themselves or others (which can be positive or negative). In doing so, this will encourage them to reflect on the choices they make during learning time, as well as social situations involving friendships.  

To support your child at home, you may find the following tasks helpful:

•  Encourage physical activity by doing some yoga or exercise routines designed for kids. It's a great way to stay active and healthy.
• Start a small garden in your backyard or even on a windowsill. Have them plant seeds, water the plants, and observe their growth.
• Turn tidying up into a game. Set a timer and see how quickly they can clean their room or organize their toys.
•  Encourage your child to demonstrate the Five Keys to Success. (Persistence, Getting Along, Organisation, Confidence, Resilience) 
• Discuss why the values of Respect, Integrity, Initiative and Global Empathy are important in everyday life.
