Celebrating achievements
At Someries Infant School and Early Childhood Education Centre, we recognise children's achievements, both inside and outside of school, and ensure that all children are congratulated when they follow our two school rules of working hard and being nice to people
Achievement Awards
Every Monday, each Class Teacher chooses two Achievers from their class. These are children who have achieved something special that week. During their class-based Achievement Assembly, Achievers are invited to share with their class why they have been chosen and what they have achieved.
Achievers receive a special certificate to share with their family at home and wear a special Achievers Band throughout the week.
Values Champions
Each week, a Values Champion from each class is chosen by the Class Teacher.
Our Values Champions are those who have been recognised as ‘living our values’ in all aspects of their life, both in and out of school. Children become Values Champions based on nominations from others.
All of our Values Champions receive a special certificate and a badge which they wear with pride.
Our Golden Book of Learning
Our Golden Book of Learning is used to celebrate excellence throughout the school.
When class teachers recognise a child has completed a piece of really excellent work, they send them to Mr Scott or Mr Millington to share and explain their learning. Their name and photograph are then entered into our Golden Book of Learning.
Each page of our Golden Book is filled with examples of the excellent learning that has been achieved by our pupils so far.
As well has having their name permanently written in our Golden Book, pupils also receive a special sticker to share their good news with their family at home.
Celebratory postcards
Class Teachers send home a postcard to their pupils throughout the academic year.
These postcards celebrate and recognise the hard work the child has undertaken that week and allow their families to recognise their achievements in school.
Hot chocolate Fridays
Every Friday, one child from each class joins Mr Millington for hot chocolate and a biscuit.
Each child is chosen by their Class Teacher because they have followed our two school rules of working hard and being nice to people throughout the week.
