Positive Behaviour for Learning- Belinda Uhlman
PBL Up-date
A fantastic Dougie Rewards Session was had by all in Week 5. Students were rotated through various activities organised be their amazing classroom teachers. Everything from outdoor games, to ‘Just Dance’ to creating amazing art pieces! The students had a great Friday afternoon and were able to celebrate their safe, respectful and responsible choices by having fun with their peers and teachers!
What will our last Dougie Rewards Session be for the year? We hear it will be amazing………!
Our PBL focus for this fortnight is “Wondall Learners are RESPONSIBLE for their own actions”. This will be a focus both in the classroom and in the playground. The purpose of this focus is to increase students’ awareness that they are responsible for their own actions. They will be taught strategies around managing their own behaviours and reactions to the behaviours of others.
Students will be encouraged to STOP, THINK and then ACT when they find themselves in a challenging situation. They will be learning to:
STOP - give yourself thinking time, what is your body telling you? What emotion are you feeling? What zone are you in?
THINK - what is an appropriate response? Walk away, use kind words, ignore, ask for help, focus on the task at hand?
ACT - act upon your choice; understand that your ACTIONS are the way YOU act, and that is YOUR responsibility.
