Feeling good about being good

Year 6 to Year 7 Transition

4/6

In this lesson we will:
 

• Understand what is meant by
   'Behaviour for Learning'
  
• Look at sanctions, explain what is meant
   by 'detention' and how schools reward
   good behaviour for learning.

"You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." — A.A. Milne

You should always let a trusted 

grown up know if you feel worried.

In our school, you can:

• Talk to your teacher
  
• Write a note for the worry box
  
• Send a text to the school office
  
• Childline: 0800 1111

Please adapt to reflect your school's Safeguarding Policy.

Good behaviour for learning is a set of actions and attitudes that allow for effective learning and positive interactions with others in the classroom.

 

It means helping yourself and your class to learn well.

What is Good Behaviour for Learning?

This is quite a wordy explanation but actually offers the opportunity to explore what 'effective' and 'positive' mean...your pupils may have a different view to your own!.

You can show that you are using Active Listening by:

• paying attention to the teacher
• asking questions
• taking notes

Active Listening

Explain what active listening is and why it is important for good behaviour in the classroom.

Shouting out

Looking at the teacher

Daydreaming

Swinging on 

your chair legs

Asking questions

Fidgeting

Nodding or smiling

at the teacher

This drag and drop offers pupils the opportunity to consider some of their own behaviours and how they may support/ hinder learning.

Add to or amend the captions to suit your context.

If you do not follow the school rules and show good behaviour for learning, you might receive a detention.

This usually takes place straight after the end of the school day.

You might need to complete some work or spend time thinking about your behaviour.

Detentions

This may be a source of worry for a significant number of pupils within your class. Assess whether some pupils may need to access this content early so that they are ready to talk about detentions,

Link to your feeder secondary policy.

The DfE guidance is below to share with parents, should they request it:

Slide about timetables and how to read them.

Why Might Someone Receive a Detention?

You may wish to respond creatively to this question or keep the tone moderate and respond via a list.

Write a short letter to a friend who is worried about getting a detention.

What can you say to them to remind them 

about good behaviour for learning?

LessonUp offers the opportunity to respond directly into the platform via a laptop, tablet or mobile phone.

You may wish to write these letters on paper and upload them instead.

How Can I Show 

Good Learning Behaviours?

This slide brings together the learning from the session.

Remember, you can move around responses to group and discuss.

Pupil names can be removed before responses are revealed to enable pupils to respond with confidence.

I understand a lot more about how rewards

and sanctions work at Secondary School.

Aardappeloproer

1917

Enkele Amsterdamse vrouwen zagen dat er een schip vol aardappelen in een van de grachten lag. Ze gingen erop af en plunderden het schip: hun schorten vol aardappelen. De dag erna waren er meer plunderaars. Pas nadat zes mensen door het leger werden doodgeschoten, keerde de rust terug
