Our school-wide PB4L focus for Weeks 3 and 4: "Being Respectful".  Focusing on supporting and cooperating with other students. This involves things such as working with others in your class, or in the playground, as well as having positive social interactions, so that you are able to make and maintain friendships. Cooperating also means encouraging others to do their best, and showing appreciation to people for what they contribute to a group situation.
Our Social and Emotional Learning focus has been accepting others’ personal space and boundaries. Students have been reminded that if someone gets too close, politely say to them “Please can you move out of my personal space, I don’t feel comfortable.” If someone asks them to do this, they need to respect them and remember it is OK to give them space.
