Make sure students are well hydrated, have had food
Make sure students are wearing sun protection
Ensure field / ground is clear from equipment, if there is pot holes put a cone to ensure students dont trip in it
Inappropriate language towards others and in general is unacceptable
Equipment is not to be thrown intentionally at other students as a form of bullying

Formative
Assessment
/
Conferencing with students;
conferencing with the student
individually allows us to assess
how
well
the
student
understands the content of
work and it gives them the
opportunity to ask questions
privately as they may feel
embarrassed or intimidated in
front of peers.
