Koala Way Songslide

Look who we have today… it’s Caring Koala! Can you wave and say hello to Caring Koala?

 Caring Koala helps us remember how to be safe, kind, and happy at school. We call this… the Koala Way.

Now, let’s look at these children. Hmm… do you think they are remembering the Koala Way?

 Are they being kind? Are they being safe? Let’s point and see together.

 If they are making a good choice, can you show me a big thumbs up?

 If they forget, we can help them! What could they do instead?

Caring Koala wants us to learn the Koala Way together.

 We can use our hands and our voices to help us remember. Let’s watch and try the signs together.

Caring Koala has a song to help us remember!

 Are you ready to sing?

 Let’s use our big voices and sing the Follow the Rules song together!

Can you remember our class animal? Today we are going to make a craft of our class animal. Remember to use your ‘gentle hands’ while creating your craft.

We can learn more about our class animals by sharing these books:

I See a Butterfly

I See an Elephant

I See a Monkey

I see a Zebra

Let’s recap our Koala Way 

Today we are going to focus on our ‘walking feet’. Show me your Makaton sign for ‘walking feet’.

Now let’s all stand up and practice using our walking feet with these fun walking songs:

Walk Around the Circle

Today we are going to take off our shoes and socks and step into paint! How does it feel? Now can you use your walking feet to make some footprints of your own.

Let’s recap our Koala Way 

Today we are going to focus on our ‘listening ears’. Show me your Makaton sign for ‘listening ears’.

Now let’s use our listening ears to play this listening game. Listen carefully to the sound and if you recognise the sound show your teacher the answer using your fingers for pictures 1, 2 or 3.

Listening Game 

Lets sing this listening song…

Everybody Listen 

Today we are going to take a walk around our school in small groups with our teacher and use our listening ears. What sounds can you hear? Can you tell your teacher?

Let’s recap our Koala Way 

Today we are going to focus on our ‘be kind’. Show me your Makaton sign for ‘be kind’.

Let’s read this story about kindness.

Kindness 

Can you think of a time when you have done something kind? Maybe you shared your toy, or gave someone a cuddle, or helped to tidy up. If you can think of something then tell everyone.

Be kind and work together as a class to make a beautiful heart for our wall.

Can you spread the glue by yourself?

Let’s recap our Koala Way 

Today we are going to focus on our ‘be polite’. Show me your Makaton sign for ‘be polite’.

There are words that we can use to be polite, can you think of any? Please and thank you are kind and polite words. Let’s sing this song to remember our polite words

Magic Words 

In Thailand when we greet people, say goodbye, say sorry and thank you we ‘wai’. Can you ‘wai’?

Settling-in. Increasingly follows the rules, understanding why they are important.
