Mindfulness Techniques
Children can listen to this at home- just like they would have done in school during our PSHE lessons.
Attendance
Attending school every day and on time gives our children the best opportunities to develop their potential to the full. Please ensure your child is in school and on time. If you need further support to achieve this, please contact Mrs Troy at school. jane.troy@gorsehall.tameside.sch.uk
Positive Behaviours – School Bee Rules
• Be Kind
• Be Safe
• Be Respectful
• Be Proud
Class teachers will award Dojo points to children who demonstrate these behaviours. Certificates and rewards will be given during our whole school assemblies. Certificates include Kindness Award, Head teacher Award, class achievement award, Class Jigsaw Award. Please share with us any examples of your child demonstrating these values at home so we can celebrate them in school too!
