Please stop …, I don’t like it.

Now that we have had our Cool Calm Kids incursion that explained to us the ‘Three Step Rule’, today Prep B went a step further to tell the person what it is that we want them to stop.

So now…..

1. Please stop… I don’t like it (e.g. Please stop nudging me, I don’t like it)

If the person continues, 

2. Please stop nudging me, I will tell a teacher. 

If the person continues the behaviour, 

3. Please stop nudging me, I am telling a teacher NOW!

 

Here are the children practising this. We had singers, hammers and people waving around their hands… All in the name of “please stop…. I don’t like it.”

How many of our feet fit in a T-Rex foot?

As part of our Maths/Inquiry today, we decided to do a bit of informal measuring…We wanted to investigate:

– how long all of our shoes together would be,

– how many shoes long is a T-Rex foot,

– and how many shoes could we fit inside a T-rex?

 

Challenge accepted.
