3 Jan 2007 - GOLDEN TIME INFORMATION
We are informing you about our exciting positive behaviour policy. Many of the children at our school are well behaved for most of the time. However, we feel we need to provide even clearer guidelines and boundaries to support each child in making the right decisions when choosing how to behave. This is in line and supports theh school's Religious Education policy. As a result of talking to the children, we introduced new Golden Rules, which are as follows:
We are gentle ; We are kind and helpful; We listen;
We are honest ; We work hard; We look after property;
We don't hurt others; We don't hurt anybody's feelings;
We don't interrupt; We don't cover up the truth;
We don't waste our own or others' time; We don't waste or damage things
These rules will be displayed inside and outside. There are other sets of rules,like our rules for the dining areas and for the classroom, but these are routines for specific areas. The Golden Rules will remain the same.
To reward the children for keeping the Golden Rules all week, we run Golden Time as a short event for Key Stage 1, 2 or 3 times a week; Key Stage 2 once a week or at the classteacher's discretion. This will be a special session where all children who have kept Golden Rules all week (or all day) will be able to choose an activity to partricipate in, and we all celebrate together. A board in the entrance hall will show you an update on activities.
Children who break any of the rules willbe given a visual warning, and if they continue to choose to break a rule, they will lose five minutes of Golden Time.
We discuss what happens with all the children regularly so that they fully understand how Golden Time works, and we support the children in trying to follow the Golden Rules so that losing Golden Time is not a common event.
