Behaviour and Rewards Golden Rules we are gentle, we are kind and helpful, we listen, we are honest, we work hard, we look after property Values We have a new value each month. If the children display this value, they get put on the class value tree We have a behaviour chart. The children are expected to follow the golden rules. If they are not, they receive a reminder, then a warning and then their name is moved to the amber traffic light. Children have an opportunity to get back to the green with good behaviour. If their name is down at the end of a session, they miss a part of the break, lunch or golden time We have lots of rewards: Reward Bookmark Every good lesson is rewarded with a tick. When the bookmark is full, the children get a treat. WOW wall amazing work is put on the Wow wall and the children receive an extra tick on their book mark. Star of the Week and Behaviour Superstar These are awarded at the end of the week in assembly. Golden time The children play for an hour on Friday afternoon as a reward for all their hard work over the week.

Seesaw This is like Tapestry. It is a way of recording the children s learning. We will post pictures and videos of what the children have been learning, if it cannot be placed in a book We use this as a form of communication between teacher and parent as it has a private messaging option. We can also send class announcements Please sign up asap

Children need time to adjust to the transition to year 1! Why? Long summer holiday New class New Teachers New children to mix with (year 2) New expectations More structure to their lessons Longer periods of focus We promise we will look after them! They do enjoy maple class and will have lots of fun, but need time to adjust to all the above changes. They will get very tired!
