Positive Living

Week 8: Where are Highlights? 

Highlights are happy things you see and do and happy times you share with others. Highlights help you

feel good.  Students will be building the skills to identify highlights in their everyday lives and environments. 

• Are highlights part of your home environment? 
• How do you share highlights? 
• How are highlights celebrated and remembered in your family? 

Highlights have become part of the daily routine at Burke Ward.  Students and staff have daily opportunities to share their highlights within their classroom and at the lunch assembly. Sharing highlights are now a positive part of the Burke Ward School community. 

Class Highlight: HW 

It has been a fantastic Term 1 for HW students with everyone settling in well and enjoying their learning adventures. Our class has been sharing and expanding upon our knowledge of the animal kingdom and in the process have uncovered some budding zoologists. One of HW's big highlights has been exploring how everyone’s favourite game ‘Minecraft’ designs animals and comparing their real life qualities to those in the game.

Another highlight that occurs frequently in the classroom are our games of 'Pig'. This game is a fun way to develop quick addition skills and explore chance and probability.

Our final highlight is our daily handball game which is always a keenly contested affair for everyone.
