Fairly, Fully & Safely

We have spent much of our first week back at school considering what it looks like to engage in our learning fairly, fully and safely. The students have brainstormed what this will look like, sound like and feel like in different situations.

Engaging fairly is making sure everyone is participating and getting a turn.
Engaging fully is giving things your best shot and trying to get the most out of learning sessions.
Engaging safely is thinking before we act to make thoughtful decisions about keeping ourselves and our gear in good condition.

Of course we couldn't just talk about it! We have created freeze frames, posters and presentations. We have worked collaboratively during cooperative games and we also participated in a pikau challenge with Ruma Ono.

The aim of all this is to have a common language for talking about our behaviour and learning so we can celebrate success and guide ourselves back on track when we need to.
