Students only stick to their friends from their P4 class.
- Acknowledge that time is needed for students to bond
- Plan class activities for students to bond]]> 2021-10-19 03:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/3k2gznm91z18p8v/wish/1826010847 https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/3k2gznm91z18p8v/wish/1826013297 - Area of concern: How to manage the request for phone number, as parent may have unrealistic expectations about the devotion required to the child
- how to resolve: use email and calls (w/ office phone) to comms with parent]]> 2021-10-19 03:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/3k2gznm91z18p8v/wish/1826013297 https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/3k2gznm91z18p8v/wish/1826013390 1. The class is cliquish 
2. The class is avoiding Peter 
3. New student, Celeste, who was bullied in her previous school
4. Celeste's mum asking for teacher's mobile number
5. Potential stress the class may experience due to higher demands at P5]]> 2021-10-19 03:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/3k2gznm91z18p8v/wish/1826013390 https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/3k2gznm91z18p8v/wish/1826013464 Cliquish behaviour - have not gelled as a new class, staying in their comfort zone and sticking to old friends

Lack of inclusivity - cliquish behaviour + inability to connect with Peter or understand his behaviour

How to support students to cope academically 

Transition support for the new student, Celeste]]> 2021-10-19 03:34:36 UTC https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/3k2gznm91z18p8v/wish/1826013464 https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/3k2gznm91z18p8v/wish/1826014667 - 2nd para - students have stress and anxiety over the curriculum]]> 2021-10-19 03:35:11 UTC https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/3k2gznm91z18p8v/wish/1826014667 https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/3k2gznm91z18p8v/wish/1826020592 2. Students avoid Peter
- To speak to Peter, to encourage him to join the rest of the class and to give him advice/suggestions.
- To speak to entire class, to let them understand the importance of accommodating others, without singling Peter out.
- To also help other classes understand others' behaviour, with help with Year Head, again without singling Peter out.]]> 2021-10-19 03:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/3k2gznm91z18p8v/wish/1826020592 https://padlet.com/pdunit2_1/3k2gznm91z18p8v/wish/1826021186 Peter and Celeste would need peer support - perhaps assigning a buddy to them.

Leverage on class committee/peer support leaders to provide support in the class, create the positive environment in the class (in peer bond/peer help/peer influence)
