We believe that it is important to celebrate achievements. As part of our 'Good to be Green' behaviour and reward system, each week, children may be given a certificate, a gold letter from a member of staff or a certificate from Mr Dickinson, Miss Copestake or Miss James.
Each week, children are chosen by teachers to receive awards to celebrate their achievements.
This week, awards have been given to:
- Iqra S for having the belief in herself to write and read CVC words
- Emilia M for having the belief in herself to write and read CVC words
It's Great to be Gold!
Pupils who show exceptional behaviour for the majority of the week can be chosen to receive a gold letter. Gold letters have been given to:
- Mia T for consistently always trying and doing her best
- Aaron I for consistently always trying and doing his best
