Our first Living and Learning statement of the year was:
I follow the school rules.
We established that rules are instructions that we’re asked to follow. They help to keep us safe and make sure we’re all treated fairly. Rules help to bring order.
We discussed our 3 school rules; how they look and sound in the classroom and around school.
The children gave some great examples of how we might have different rules at home, at school or in the community and there was some interesting discussion about how the world might look different if we didn’t have rules…
Help at home by discussing rules with your child.
- What are our school rules? Is one important than the others?
- What are some of your rules at home and why do you have them?
- What are some of the rules in the community? Are there consequences if we don’t follow them?
