Positive Behaviour for Learning

Every child has the right to learn and every teacher has the right to teach. 

        Lesson Plan: Food Safety and Allergies

Step 1: List Learning Intentions and Success Criteria

We are learning to :

• Understand that some people have serious food allergies
• Recognise what anaphylaxis is 
• Learn practical ways to keep our friends safe
• Practise being a caring, responsible “food safety mate.”

It will look like:

• Washing our hands before and after eating
• Not sharing any food with others at school
• Knowing what my friends are allergic to
• Getting help straight away if my friends are sick. 

Step 2:  List a rationale for teaching the behaviour 

Why is it important?

Holy Rosary School Values: Relationships, Respect, Resilience, Integrity, Kindness.

Holy Rosary School Expectations: Safety is our right. Learning is our responsibility. Respect is our way. 

Step 3:  Identify examples and non-examples of the desired behaviour 

What would the behaviour look/sound like?
