Positive People

TITLE: Keeping a Positive Attitude

INTRODUCTION:  Tālofa lava.

This week our values focus is Keeping a Positive Attitude.  We created a Google Drawing with us in the centre, surrounded by things we can say or think to ourselves to help keep a positive attitude.  

This is the example that Miss Driver created as a model for our class.

DIGITAL LEARNING OBJECT:

REFLECTION: I think we came up with some really good ways to keep positive in different situations.  We can already see some of the kids in our class, using these ideas.

SOURCES: We found our information from each other and we used our school Values slide for tr Ara Takitini site.  Miss Waho created the template for us and we personalised it.

QUESTION: Do you have any other ideas for how we can stay positive, especially when things get difficult?  Leave your ideas in the comments below.

Perfect Punctuality 

This week's value is Being on Time.  This is important for many reasons.  We did an activity to look at how people may think of us if we are on time or if we are not.  
Here are my ideas about being punctual.

REFLECTION: I always try to be on time but the mornings are hard because I struggle to get out of bed.  Hopefully, these ideas will help me. 

QUESTION:  Do you have any suggestions or ideas for how I can get up earlier in the mornings?
