Wellbeing

As part of Hampton's whole school Wellbeing curriculum, the children will continue to enact our School Norms of Collaboration, Aspiration, Integrity and Resilience. We will also be continuing our work on our School Wide Expectations and this will be acknowledged and celebrated with the students who showcase our school norms each week.  

Positive Classroom Management Strategies and Respectful Relationships

Throughout the term, we will focus on positive behaviour support through the lens of the Positive Classroom Management Strategies. We will also support students to develop positive coping skills through our wellbeing curriculum, Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships.  

During wellbeing lessons, your children will:  

• reflect on their own emotional responses
• describe ways to express emotions that show awareness of the feelings and needs of others
• practise techniques to deal with feelings of fear, frustration and anger
• explore strategies to make positive friendships and build meaningful connections with others 
• take part in activities that build the attributes of kindness and gratitude 
• practise strategies that help them deal with stressful situations 
• try various relaxation techniques 
• build up their emotional regulation and emotional literacy skills 
• consolidate expected appropriate classroom behaviours

Cyber Safety

This term we will again be accessing the 'Inform and Empower,' student online incursions to explore age-appropriate content on digital wellbeing and cybersafety. Our focus this term will be on different ways we can be kind online and also developing critical thinking within digital literacy by being aware of online ads and how these ads can make us feel. The Term 4 parent overview from 'Inform and Empower' along with suggested converstion starters can be found through this link.

Transition

In the last few weeks of term, the Year 1 teachers will be supporting students to become ready for Year 2. Students will engage in a number of activities to build their help-seeking skills and pro-social skills, supporting students to understand what to expect in Year 2. Opportunities to form connections with students across the cohort will be provided, ready to transition to Year 2.
