House Points Challenge

Leave a comment

Today Miss Nicholson and Miss Jamieson set us a challenge.

Each group had a pile of papers which had the bones that make up our body…we had to put these bones in the right place to make our skeleton.

Everyone worked really well and there was great discussion as to where we thought the bones would go. Once we thought we were finished we got the teachers to check it for us. We all did a great job with only a few mistakes with arm/leg bones. We then cut out the bones so that we could use split pins to put our skeletons together. Once he was complete we named it! (We tried to think of one linked to our group names)

Then Miss Nicholson and Miss Jamieson threw another challenge at us….This time we had to put the organs where we thought they went. This was a challenge, some groups only just started cutting out their organs but Sir Swagsolot Junior was the only one to have his organs placed in his chest/stomach. They got nearly every one in the correct place or very close if not. There are a few organs that we weren’t sure on so we are going to be learning about these in topic!

Reward System

Our Reward System

Leave a comment

We get to have our say and decide on a reward system that we want so we all had a think and came up with lots of great ideas, once everyone had shared their idea then we took a blind vote. We narrowed this down to 2: House points and  bucket fillers. We had a final vote and decided for term 1 and 2 we would go with ‘House Points’ as our reward system.

We had to get into groups for this – we decided that their would be 4 groups since there are 4 primary 7 pupils. So we got into a line according to age; the oldest being at the door and the youngest at the window – we even managed to figure this out without talking!Miss Nicholson then numbered us 1-4 and set us off into our groups so that we could think of a name! Here are our groups names:

  • DJ LHT
  • Sir Swagsolot and Co.
  • Pink Fluffy Unicorns
  • Squishy Hamsters

Now that we had our groups we had to decide why we would receive house points for, this s what we came up with:

  • the teachers would set us challenges that we had to work through in our groups
  • good manners
  • being helpful
  • working hard during our lessons

If we are awarded a house point we get to put a tally mark on our groups sheet.
