'Play is the Way' is how we help our tamariki learn social and emotional competencies.

This week we are focussing on "Having the reasons for the things we say and do".  This life raft is about making sure you are thinking before you do and say something. In classes we might talk about some of the following ideas:

Make sure you don't do something because someone else told you to

Respect the right of others

Think before you act

Respect rules because rules have reasons

Be a strong friend

Put my thinking in charge, not my feeling

Stay away from gossip

Be kind and forgiving
