Sit quietly and show five
Walk in calm
Sit Quietly and Show Five
When we are at an assembly it is super important to look at the person who is presenting or speaking.
What are the 5 things we need to do to show a person we are listening to them?
Why do we need to do these things?
What are we showing?
When we show respect to others by showing them 5 we make them feel happy.
If you have time, can you recreate the Give Me Five poster to include everything that you think is important, in an eye catching way?
Walk in Calmly
Think about a time that you have been sitting and paying attention to something... How distracting is it when someone comes in making heaps of noise? Maybe you were watching your favourite TV show or reading a really important part of a book...
When we come in and out of a school assembly it is important that we are quiet. There are heaps of us all in the same space and it can get loud very quickly if everyone is talking.
We make sure that we walk quietly by keeping our hands to ourselves by our sides, keeping our lips zipped, staying in line and giving people their personal space. When we arrive at the hall we have to listen to the adults telling us where to sit. Think about...
Where other people are sitting - will you trip over them?
How much noise are we making - are you distracting others?
How much time do you have?
In buddies or with your class, come up with a system or a signal to show everyone that it's time to walk in or out of assembly. Think about...
The key ideas that you need to communicate
The way you might get everyone's attention
How you want those seeing the signal to react
