PB4L Lessons
At Oratia every Monday at 9:15 is the designated teaching time for PB4L. The focus of the week is introduced to the children with the use of a modelling book. The modelling book contains the coaching behaviours matrix, the context matrix, the lesson plan and a poster.
Our Apples
Students collect apples from all staff around the school for displaying our school values, the focus of the week and showing positive behaviour. They can then spend these apples at the PB4L shop that is open on Wellbeing Wednesday. During terms 2 and 3 students can use their apples for staff experiences. Students love the experiences and it is a valuable part of our programme.
We got to ice cookies however we wanted at lunch time. I really enjoyed doing that with my teacher - Zoe year 5
We made ice cream sundaes and it was really yum. We put sprinkles and sauce. We like getting to choose between the vouchers and the shop - Isla and Sebastian year 6
We made pizzas. They tasted really good, it didn't take long to make and didn’t take up our whole lunch time. We would like to do it again, we like the food experiences - Sylvie & Ethan year 5
Restorative Practice
At the times when conflict occurs, we seek to resolve this using a restorative approach. Our aim here is to 'put things right' and restore the relationship between students so they are able to move forward positively. The structured process is underpinned by our school values and the facilitator ensures there are upheld.
Participants are encouraged to tell the story of what happened and identify who was affected and how. The harm caused is identified and solutions are suggested and agree upon. Support for the resolution is via check ins to verify that the agreed actions for change have been carried out. The video gives a good overview of the process.
