POSITIVE BEHAVIOURS FOR LEARNING (PB4L), SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL)

Our PB4L/SEL focus for Week 5 will be: Having a Conversation
In the explicit teaching lessons, the expected behaviours taught will be:

* Look at the person.

* Use a pleasant voice.

* Listen to what the other person says. 

* When there is a break in the conversation, ask a question or share your  

   thoughts.

Examples of behaviours that negatively impact on Respectful, Responsible and Safe behaviour when Having a Conversation to be taught include:

* Looking away from the person speaking.

* Shouting

* Ignoring what they are  saying.

* Interrupting

Our PB4L/SEL focus for Week 6 will be: Sharing with other Others

In the explicit teaching lessons, the expected behaviours taught will be:

* Let the person use the item first.

* Ask if you can use it later.

* Offer it back to the other person after you have used it.

Examples of behaviours that negatively impact on Respectful, Responsible and Safe behaviour when Sharing with other Others to be taught include:

* Snatching the item from the other person

We would very much appreciate your discussing these weekly focuses with your children and reviewing the expected and non-acceptable behaviours in our endeavour to see that St Patrick’s is a more respectful, responsible, and safe learning community for all.
