Value of the Month Family Challenge – Respect
As our value this month is respect, we are spending time thinking about how to be respectful. In school, we have identified the following ways we can show respect and we are working hard on this.
- Being polite and kind to others
- Treating others the way you want to be treated
- Consider others’ feelings, wishes and rights
This month, we invite you to:
- Discuss with your family what things you can do to show respect at home and in your community. This might be making your bed, spending time with a family member or walking the dog.
- Carryout some things that show respect and fill the inside and outside of the house with pictures or words to show what you have achieved this month. You might need to ask an adult at home to help with this. Your teacher will give this out.
- You will be discussing how you have displayed respect in your home and community during week beginning Tuesday 26th September. We can’t wait to hear all about your experiences.
To support living by our values in school, at home and in our local community, we will be giving every family one of our values magnets to display in your home as a reminder.
