MANAAKITANGA
Kōrero pai i ngā wā katoa. Whakaaro pai ki ngā tangata katoa.
Speak good things all the time. Think good things about all people.
We will achieve this by:
Using put ups all the time
Using nice words, no swearing
Thank people, use please when asking - using our manners
Thinking before we speak and not saying anything if we can't say anything nice
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
Not jumping to conclusions, it may have been an accident and not something to get upset about
Apologising to someone if you do something accidental to them STRAIGHT AWAY to avoid things escalating to a fight
Supporting others to say the right thing
Not gossiping about others or spreading rumours. It is hurtful to people.
Not telling your friends they can't play with someone else, that is their choice and none of your business who they play with.
Think - would I like someone to say that to me? Or about me? If not, do not say it.
Success Indicator:
Our class will be calmer and more controlled helping us to learn better
There will be less arguments and stress every day, making us feel happier at school
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
We will be ready to learn as much as we can

Learning to Type
Using our chromebooks, we need to practice our typing. Whaene Vicki can type WITHOUT looking! This is called touch typing. You have to practice a lot to get to that stage, but you can get better and USE MORE THAN ONE FINGER if you practice just a little bit!
Remember to have your headphones on, or your sound turned off.
The more you practice the faster you will become. KEEP TRYING. It gets easier.
