Positive Behaviours for Learning (PBL)
At SFS, our school expectations are:
Respect
Responsibility and
Kindness
This week are focus is on RESPECT, Care for Self. The children have focused in class on what this means and what it might look like in the learning space, outdoors and in the toilets.
Some of the ways the children can show care for self is by asking for help when they need it, checking in with a teacher or friend when they are upset and looking after their personal hygiene such as washing their hands.
Here are our lucky junior raffle winners from last week who were able to demonstrate the value of RESPONSIBILITY. It has been pleasing to see the children being very quiet and quick in their transitions back to class after lunch breaks.
SFS Twilight Community Market
The count down has begun. Only 2 weeks to go. Tell your family and friends and make sure you have the date marked in your calendar!
We have a variety of stalls and food trucks booked in this year with lots of great things to buy and yummy food to try. A great opportunity to do some Christmas shopping.
Some of the stalls include children’s toys, jewellery, handmade goods, candles, homewares, hair accessories, plants and so much more!!!!!!
Lunchtime Games Club
In term 4, we will be having a lunchtime games club. This will run on Wednesday during 2nd lunch. All children are most welcome to come.
We will play different games and practice using social skills like turn taking, using manners, being a good sport and conflict resolution. We had our first games club this week. The children really enjoyed playing together and working co-operatively.
National Children’s week
Children's Week is a national celebration that recognises the talents, skills, achievements and rights of children. Children's Week runs from Saturday 21 October to Sunday 29 October 2023, with thousands of Victorian children taking part in the festivities.
The theme for Children's Week 2023 is "Children have the right to relax, play and to take part in activities they enjoy" based on Article 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
During Children's Week, local councils, not-for-profit organisations, schools and early childhood services organise open days, displays, special events, virtual spaces and online-based activities. These celebrate childhood and showcase children's achievements.
All Children's Week events are free to families with children aged from birth to 12 years. It's a great opportunity for Victorian families to enjoy fun, engaging and educational experiences.
