PB4L
Positive Behaviours for Learning (PB4L)
Our PB4L focus for next week (Week 9) is Asking for Help v Dobbing
In the explicit teaching lessons, the expected behaviours taught will be:
- Asking for help is when someone feels a situation is out of their control.
- They are unable to deal with the situation on their own and need help.
- You can ask for help for yourself or someone else.
- Asking for help for yourself or others is always okay.
Dobbing’ is when a person tries to get attention or to get someone else into trouble.
Our PB4L focus for Week 10 is Respecting Play Equipment
In the explicit teaching lessons, the expected behaviours taught will be:
- Use equipment for its right purpose
- Return all equipment to the correct container
- Tie skipping ropes when returning them
- Report unsafe use of equipment to the teacher on duty
Examples of behaviours that negatively impact Respectful, responsible and safe use of Playground Equipment to be taught include:
Throwing/kicking balls at people
- Hitting people with equipment
- Hiding Equipment
- Leaving equipment out on the playground
- Not tying skipping ropes
- Not speaking up when equipment is being misused
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.
