It was wonderful to see everyone after the summer holiday. I am delighted to also welcome some new members to the class. We were busy in the first few weeks deciding how we wanted to run our class and this is what we agreed on.

 P5   Class Charter 

 Our Perfect Potion for learning.

We have :

Have excellent manners.

Follow instructions.

Listen to others without interrupting.

Give our best effort.

Are kind, friendly and play safely.

Help one another as part of our team.

 

Our Rights

In P.5 we chose these …

Article 12

You have the right to be listened to.

Article 20

You have the right to learn.

Article 28

You have the right to an education.

Article 29

You have the right to become the best you can be.

Article 31

You have the right to play and relax.

 

Reward System

In class, we have a class points system linked to our charter and the school values of Kind, Proud and Successful.

Each group is given a –

shiny green stone  – for listening attentively

wooden love heart – for being kind and helpful

rose coloured paper clip – for amazing work

button – for being safe and washing their hands.

These tokens are collected in the group jar and counted on a Friday.

The winning group receive a silver trophy as a reward to sit on their desk. Each member of the group is also given a privilege card. This card can be exchanged for a 15 minute activity for example construction with Lego or K’nex, computer time or ‘Be the Teacher’ and deliver a short lesson.

Class Responsibilities

We created a list of class jobs that makes sure our classroom runs smoothly. We work in pairs to complete these tasks.

Every week our names move down the list so that we get a different job to do. In time we will all have the experience of every job in the class.

I am delighted to see everyone giving their best effort. Well done P5! Click the link below to see what we have been learning about so far this term.
