Praise, Rewards &Sanctions • Every child starts the day on the sunshine. Positive behaviour gets rewarded by moving up the chart. Negative behaviour is sanctioned by moving down the chart. • If they are on the rainbow at the end of the day they get a sticker and a raffle ticket. • Raffle takes place on Friday afternoon- box of goodies for prizes! • Also use lots of verbal praise, stickers and forest value cards.
Our Forest Values • Friendship- We work together and help each other • Openness- I open my heart and mind to ideas and people that are different • Responsibility- It’s up to me to do the right thing • Endurance- I try hard to do and be the best I can • Stewardship- We look after each other and our world • Trust- We rely on each other to make good choices

End of KS1 Assessment • At the end of Year 2- levels in speaking and listening, reading, writing, maths and science. • Based on teacher assessment- the level we see the child working at on a regular basis. • We do SAT’s tests because they are statutory. • We only use them to back-up our judgements. Children will not really know we are doing ‘tests’
Child D- May Level 3 Writing
Reading Books • Currently we are still supervising the children when they change their books (correct colour, writing it in diary etc) • Soon we will be encouraging them to independently choose and write in their diary- with opportunities on Mon, Weds, Fri to do this. • If they haven’t changed it for ages- remind them!!! • Don’t worry if they keep the book for a little while… books in Year 2 can get very long!
FASTERFamilies And Schools Together Enjoying Reading • Successful project that has been running for the last 3 years • Working with a Year 2 child on a regular basis • Want to help? - Need to commit to 2 sessions a week- at the beginning or end of the school day. - Must have a CRB check • Meeting on Wednesday 25th September at 9.10am
How can I help at home? • Read the curriculum newsletters- so you know what your child is learning about. • Support your child with the home learning projects that are sent home. Have fun with them! • Read with and to your child on a regular basis...“Good readers become good writers” • If your child is still finding it difficult to pronounce pure phonic sounds- ‘Mr. Thorne does phonics’ website • Purple Mash website- all children have a login
