Wellbeing 

Positive Behaviours for Learning

As part of our ongoing development as a PBL school we continue to explicitly teach & model expectations from our matrix.

The foci for the next couple of weeks are:

Respect: 

We actively participate in all school activities

We respect other people’s belongings

We listen to all opinions

Responsibility: 

We keep passwords and personal information private

We take ownership of our choices

We get permission before leaving the learning space

Resilience:

We include others

We work cooperatively

We have high expectations of ourselves and others

We never give up when things get hard

We seek solutions to solve problems

We let an adult know if we are feeling unsafe

These expectations will be explicitly taught during Wellbeing Hour & revisited throughout the week. It would be great if you could also reinforce these expectations at home and ask your child/children how they are following these at school.

Understanding Emotions

Everyone has emotions. Emotions help us know when things are going well or not so well. They can make us feel good things, like happiness, love, or excitement. Or sometimes they can make us feel bad, like angry, scared, or sad.  

It can be hard to understand what our emotions mean or for children to name the emotion they are feeling.  

Kids Help Line have created some cheeky animals who can help children name and  sort out their feelings.
