I totally agree with Mrs Hillan, P.4’s have settled in really well. I feel very lucky to be their ‘Thursday/Friday’ teacher.
On Thursday and Friday we have introduced a positive behaviour strategy that is enjoyed by all. We have a ‘secret person’ chosen from all our names in a box. Mrs Lockhart and Mrs Wood are the only ones to see the name and we watch to see if the chosen child is a model pupil. If they are, the class gets 3 marbles in the jar towards our class reward and we announce the secret person who gets a big clap and cheer.
The children have responded really well to this challenge.
Emily said ” It’s really fun. We have to try to be good for a whole day and then we find out who it was.”
Ryley said “We do it every day and find out at the end”.
Derry said “It’s fun because it’s a mystery!”.
Allysa said “The special person – it’s a secret!”.
Our class novel (for Thursday and Friday) is Black Beauty. We have practised drawing horses and researching horse facts.
