Thank You for following the 3 core school rules;
Being Safe
Being Responsible
Being Respectful
This week we will be targeting; BE SAFE USE EQUIPMENT CORRECTLY IN THE CLASSROOM, this includes sitting on chairs with four on the floor, holding scissors by the blades, using stationery correctly, holding laptops etc with 2 hands, reading and writing in books. IN THE PLAYGROUND; this includes throwing balls, jumping with ropes, exercising on fixed equipment and drinking from bubblers. If we all use the equipment correctly and safely, it is unlikely that someone will get hurt or injured. If students see someone who is not using equipment correctly please tell a staff member and they will help fix the problem before it gets worse!
