This week in school we have been getting ready to launch our new house points system. From now on our house points will be called Springs.
Children will still be in one of the four existing houses which are historic to Springfield. These are: Binns, Ochiltree, Champfleurie and Hopetoun.
Children can earn up to a maximum of 3 Springs at any one time for demonstrating positive behaviour and showcasing our values around school. As a change to our previous system, Springs are small, counter-like objects so that they can be physically totalled by children.
We have made a list of rewards that each house can work towards as they earn Springs. The exciting news is that each house can choose when they would like to spend’ their Springs to buy an award, or whether to ‘save’ them. We believe that this ‘spend or save’ system will help our children to develop basic financial awareness.
We are looking forward to sharing this news with all children at assembly tomorrow and starting our Springs system in school as of Monday.
We will share news of our winning house and house treats as we have it, in newsletters and on the blog.
Have a happy weekend when it comes,
Miss Baillie xx💖
