Whole Class Rewards
Group Points – Are given for following the Learning and Behaviour Standards and making the right choice. Classes agree a total of points that they should try and achieve, when the class hits their target a reward is picked from their green point men. Green class rewards may be a fancy dress afternoon, baking, a pyjama party, free ICT time etc.
Praise – Class celebrations: fireworks, whoop, marshmallow clap, clam clap, motorbike!
Sometimes, children do not meet our behaviour expectations. When this happens, we follow our behaviour policy to get them back on track as quickly as possible.
