Manākitanga

Kōrero pai i ngā wā katoa. Whakaaro pai ki ngā tangata katoa.

Speak good things all the time.

We will achieve this by:

• Thinking before we speak. Take a big breath, think, then speak

• Think nice thoughts, it makes it easier to say nice things!

• If we have nothing nice to say, keep quiet

• Minding our own business and worrying about ourselves not others

• Putting our hands up in class and not overtalking others, letting others have their say and have a chance to learn too

• Put ups! Tell people they are doing a great job, let them know you notice them trying super hard

• Thank others for helping us

• Knowing how our mood affects our learning and others

• Respecting others and the way they are feeling

• Using kind words that make people feel great

• Ignoring people who say things we don't like

Success Indicator:

• Our class will be friendlier

• We will have no arguments after morning tea and lunch

• We won't be yelling across the room abusing others

• We will be thanked for our thoughtfulness

• We will feel respected and cared for when people speak to us using kind words

• We will feel safe and happy in our personal space and in our classroom

• We can continue to improve and develop our reputation in a positive way
