Hello everyone,
Yesterday you may have noticed that we sent children home with a little monster character! This is because we have started Class Dojo! This is a new reward system that we will use in the class for the rest of the year! This reward system will be used to praise children for the way that they are learning! This will also tie in with the 4 Learning Powers that we use right across the school: Resilience, Reflective, Resourcefulness & Reciprocity. Each of these Learning Powers has strands within it and we explore these with the children in a gradual way. To begin with we are exploring Resilience and the first part of that is being absorbed in your work. We describe this to children as being 'In the zone' or 'concentrating on one thing'. It is amazing to see how the children will pick up on this language quite quickly! Every time an adult spots children being 'Absorbed' they will get a Dojo point. The individual points don't go towards anything, they are given out for showing the Learning Powers and how much you are challenging yourself - the idea being that you should work hard to achieve your best, not always for a reward.
Much more will follow on this and hopefully your children will begin to explain bits of this as time goes on! If anyone has any questions, please come and ask!
