Welcome to Term 4 everyone. In order to start the term off on the right foot the Positive Behaviour for Learning lesson this week is: Responsible – My body is ready for learning. Having our bodies ready for learning helps immensely when it comes to saving academic learning time, and students can demonstrate this behaviour by doing the following:

• Be lined up quietly at the start of each session;
• Ensure they have all the necessary equipment ready for the lessons;
• Have our hats in our bags and a full water bottle ready to go;
• Have been to the toilet during break time; and,
• Stand apart from the student in front, behind and besides us to ensure there is no disruption to the lining up process.

Please take a moment to remind your child/children about how to prepare their bodies for learning to help set them up for success in Term 4.

Calliope State School has a number of cool lunchtime activities on this term for kids to engage with at break time, from dancing, to arts and crafts, to student vs teacher games. Below are some photos from one of the activities, a handball tournament in the hall on Wednesday’s and Thursday’s.

Thanks.
