Guidelines/Consequences

We brainstormed guidelines that our class will follow to ensure we have an effective learning environment.  They fall under these headings: Be Respectful (of ourselves and to others), Be Responsible (for our learning and our actions), Be Safe (physically and emotionally).

We also discussed consequences for the behaviour that is not acceptable within the classroom (e.g. being too noisy that it disrupts concentration and learning).  As a class we agreed that instead of writing lines (and killing trees) or picking up rubbish (that should already be in bins anyway) or staying in at lunchtime (when we need that time outside), physical consequences (such as burpees, shuttles, pressups, planks, wall sits etc.) would be better because even though it's a consequence, we still benefit from it.
