Doing the Right Thing (for years 4–6)

Doing the Right Thing aims to promote values that will assist students to become responsible New Zealanders who respect others and the law.

What students will learn

These year 4–6 resources will help students to learn:

Learning activities are arranged in five focus areas.

Students name people in the community whom they respect and explain how they show these people respect.

Students distinguish right behaviour from wrong behaviour and explain how it feels when we do the right thing.

Students come up with positive group rules and explore positive and negative statements about following rules.

Students use masks to indicate they can distinguish lies from the truth and write slogans that show that cheating has negative consequences.

Students write a job description for a role model that shows they understand the qualities and behaviours that make a good role model.
