This Term, students have been learning resilience skills to bounce back from challenging times. They have been using the Bounce acronym to do this and are engaging in learning around a focus area each week. This week’s Bounce Back focus is C (concentrate on the good things and have a laugh), which explores concepts such as optimism, positive affirmation and self talk, and using humour to overcome setbacks. The links below will take you to a PDF version of each grade’s slideshow, which contains information to teach students these skills and strategies. This week, our PB4L focus is the different forms of communication, with specific attention to assertiveness. The students have learned about the disparity between this and aggressive behaviour as aggressive behaviour has consistently featured in our behaviour data. Thank you for your support as we work with you to develop your children's social and emotional skills and strategies.
