In Year 3, we have been identifying our positive traits and the things we would like to achieve this academic year. From achieving a pen licence, learning our times tables, improving our running speed so that we can run faster on Sport’s Day next year to reading more books, the children all recognise that to be the best that they can be they need to practise in order to achieve their newly set goals.

In a class discussion, the children recognised that our actions often bring rewards as well as consequences and have identified the many ways that we can help each other to remain positive. We recognised that at Christopher Pickering, we receive Dojos as a reward and that our Traffic Light System is is place to manage both positive and negative actions. A range of scenarios were explored which enabled the children to work as a team to agree on the many ways we can can solve a situation together as well as to agree on the rewards and consequences that should be in place.
