Hello everyone,
As we get ready for our first full week in school we are continuing to put in place the systems and routines that will remain all year! A big part of that we will start tomorrow morning with Early Bird's. These are set activities that we will expect all children to come in to in the morning and 'have a go' at between 8.45-9.00am - up until we stop for the register. These will change each day through the week so everyone will get the chance to have a go at each activity. Parents are welcome to stay with children whilst they're doing their Early Bird activity.
Every child has been put into one of these groups: Stick Man, Gruffalo, Elmer, Mr. Bump or Hungry Caterpillar. Children were told on Friday which group they were in and we had a practice at going to their activity for a few minutes. There will be cards around the classroom where each group will be but if anyone has any questions please come and ask us.
Another system that we began last week was the use of our Caterpillars! You may have noticed it on the cupboard door in the classroom. This will make up part of our reward system for showing great citizenship qualities: Caring, Considerate, Conscientious, Confident, Communicative, Cooperative & Courteous. Each child moves their caterpillar towards the blue circles and will then place a sticker by their name on the class chart. Every 3 stickers children will get a prize! We already had our first handful of children reaching the blue on Friday! As I mentioned before, this makes up part of our reward system. The other half - Class Dojo - will be introduced this week to children and I will pop up another blog about this too! Again, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to come and ask us!
