Teachers are not expected to take students gardening during extreme weather. There are plenty of adverse weather activities in the adverse weather activity folder (see link above).

Special mention: Tricia is on LSL during Term 3 so Irene will be taking on the position. Please be considerate of Irene as she adapts to this role. I am sure Irene will garden and cook up a storm.

Personal & Social Capabilities

Team Leader Name: Sara Parsons

Term 3 Unit Name: Personal Strengths

Term 3 Unit Summary/Update:

"Research shows that students who participate in rigorously designed and well taught social and emotional learning programs demonstrate more positive social behaviour, are less likely to engage in risky and disruptive behaviour, and show improved academic outcomes. Building a large vocabulary for emotions helps to increase emotional literacy and build self-awareness and empathy for others." (RRRR Foundation- pg 4)
