The following was sent out last week via email however we wanted to ensure that everyone had seen the information regarding the safety precautions we have put in place to support children being dropped off safely in the mornings.
Over the last few weeks we have been reviewing and updating our school behaviour strategy. This week the children took part in giving their feedback on the systems we have in place. Some of the feedback we received is as follows:
“Reflection forms are quite helpful to get us thinking about what has happened and how to fix it.”
“Some of us like receiving stickers and praises for good behaviour.”
“Having a recognition board reminds us of good role models in the classroom and helps us to select people for hot chocolate.”
As a result of this feedback we have already made some tweaks to our current systems. From Monday you will see children coming home with more stickers related to behaviour, in Years 1 – 6 the recognition charts have been updated to include bronze, silver and gold cards and the reflection sheets have been updated. As all of the children unanimously love hot chocolate with the head, that is of course staying in place and the winners from the week before are seen below enjoying their ice lollies with Ms Thomas.
Congratulations for the following children who have achieved Hot Chocolate / Ice Lollies with the Head next week. Well done to Kyrei-Dream in our Nursery, Iona in Reception, Lakesia in Year 1, Ivy-Willow in Year 2, Paula in Year 3, TJ in Year 4, Jaiya in Year 5 and Lotte in Year 6. I look forward to chatting with you next week about what you did to achieve Hot Chocolate with the Head.
The winning class for attendance this week is Year 5 with 97.7% – you will enjoy extra playtime next week! In second place is Year 1 with 96.8%, and in third place is Year 4 with 96.2%.
The dates below are for some of the events and trips we have coming up. Please make a note of them. We are also really looking forward to seeing you all on Friday morning for family Friday – you will have 20 minutes with classes this week before a presentation from our behaviour buddies on the updates we have made to our behaviour strategy.
