the pt England WAY! , Wits

The Pt England Way       

Use your WITS means W-Walk away, I-Ignore, T-Talk about it and S-Seek help. You should use your WITS because it can help you when someone is mean to you in life.

Walk away means walk away from the person doing mean things. You have to move far away so they can’t see you anymore. One time when someone was swearing at me I walked away and couldn’t hear them anymore.

Ignore it is when you don’t listen or look at the person being mean. If you ignore them then it doesn’t hurt you anymore. When kids in my class give me mean eyes I don’t look at them and ignore them.

Talk about it means go ask them to stop it. Say “I do not like it.” When my brother is being mean by swearing at me I say stop it please I do not like it and sometimes he will stop.

Seek help means look for an adult to tell them the name of the person that is hurting you. Remember to tell them you have already talked to the person but they haven’t stopped. Sometimes I have to talk to my mum when my brother is hurting me.

You should use your WITS if someone is being mean to you because it will get you far in life. It will keep you out of trouble.

In Room 9 and 10 we have been learning to do a Statistical Investigation. First we asked a question. Then we worked out the answer and presented it in a graph. Lastly we wrote about what we found out. I hope you enjoy our investigation.
