CONFLICT RESOLUTION - VIDEO

CONFLICT RESOLUTION - RAP

Yo! have a problem, talk it out

Work together, don’t scream and shout.

Problems do not just go away,

It all depends on what you do or say.

Tell what’s happened

Say what’s true.

Listen to the other point of view.

Be polite don’t name-call or fight

Getting even just is not right.

List ideas, things that will work

Say sorry if needed

Or fix what we broke

Find a solution that we both can do

Try to find one that fits me and you.

All Our options...

Use your words

Take turns

Ignore

Choose another activity

Make a deal

Apologise

Walk away

Yo, wait and chill out.

Have a problem, talk it out

Work together, don’t scream and shout.

Problems do not just go away,

It all depends on what you do or say.

Tell what’s happened

Say what’s true.

Listen to the others point of view.

Be polite don’t name-call or fight

Getting even is just not right.

List ideas, things that work

Say sorry if needed

Or fix what we broke

Find a solution that we both can do

Try to find one that fits me and you.

SPRING FLOWER PHOTO COMPETITION

The children from Rooms 9, 10 and 11 had the opportunity to enter a Spring Flower Photo Competition which closed at the end of October.  There were 6 different categories and a winner for each category will be announced at assembly tomorrow.

Thank you to all of those who have entered I thoroughly enjoyed judging your beautiful photographs.  All I can say is that I wish I was as good at taking photographs at your age.

Well done to all those who have entered.  I hope to have this as an annual event and looking at starting a photography club at school in 2013.

Voting for the competition was open to all the children and teachers.  Thank you to all of you who took the time to vote,  it made my job so much easier!

SUGGESTION BOX...

Suggestions Mrs. Wood recently discovered in Room 10's suggestion box... 

• Mufti day where we can dress up in anything we want to and not with a specific theme.  The money raised can go towards more classroom computers, etc.
• Movies this term.
• Shared lunch at th end of the term.
• A sports day, similar to our recent construction day.
• A day where everyone can do whatever work they want to, eg. Lauren writing, Sophie H reading, Blake origami, etc.
• Another disco!
• Secret Santa at the end of the term.

Some great suggestions Room 10.  We'll see what we can fit inbetween our normal daily routine, performance practice, testing, athletics, etc.  We can do it, we can do it, we can do it, ...  

So...anymore suggestions?
