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.
Mathletics:
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
