Behaviour patterns

By the end of Infants the children should be aware of, or be able to understand and respect dining room rules or take pleasure in listening.

At Primary School children have to learn to accept the concept of losing and winning when playing a game because if they learn it at these stages it will be very useful in the future and they can create a great environment at school with their partners. Also they should have to develop a helpful and co-operative attitude during playing time.

DEVELOPING SOCIAL SKILLS
The development of social skills is an essential part of the daily routine in Infants. These are already taught as an integral part of the Spanish curriculum and should be included in classroom planning for the English part of the curriculum.  Particular aspects are concentrated on through different topic areas. The objectives here are expressed as desirable outcomes and should form part f the teacher’s ongoing assessment of each child.

Class routines

Children have to use class routines to organised their time when they are learning. To make different stages in class promote in students a good predisposition to learn and for understanding.

Teachers have to organise the classroom through starting the lesson, the middle and the end of the lesson to create a good work structure for children. It makes children get used to different behaviours patterns to be a respectful and a good citizen.

We have to have in our classes a big wall which contains the rules of the class.
We also have to create a corner which contains respectful rules about the environment rather the school’s environment or outdoors.
