Week 10 Newsletter

Room 4 Newsletter
Week 10 (April 3-7)

Reminder: Daylight Savings ends tonight. Turn your clocks back 1 hour.

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L)
Teachers will be giving tokens for positive behaviour over the next 2 weeks. These will give them entries into a family draw for a hamper and will also count for whanau points.

We will also be starting a Senior Team consequences system in our classrooms this week (Classroom Chances). While we will be using a variety of rewards for postive behaviour choices in the classroom we know that sometimes this is not enough.

All children will start each day on green. For more serious or persistent behaviour issues, the child will be given a warning then move to blue if they repeat the behaviour. If this continues, they will move to orange and go to the team/senior teacher for 10 minutes. They can move back to the previous colour if they show they can sustain appropriate behaviour. If the behaviour continues again they will go to red, which means they will spend the first 30 minutes of lunchtime in timeout either that day or the next.

At the beginning of next term we will be teaching a series of lessons on the school’s expectations on uniform, being ready to learn, following instructions, being fair when working with others, being polite and kind, looking after equipment and respecting the school environment.

The fee for access to Mathletics all year is due by the end of the term (April 13) otherwise access for your child will be cut off until it is paid. Thanks to those who have already paid.
