Behaviour

At Wylde Green we are trying to improve children’s learning behaviour by changing the vocabulary that we use with them and our systems for monitoring behaviour.

Good Behaviour is rewarded through praise post-cards, whole class extra play.

Children are asked to make the right ‘choice’ with their behaviour and understand that the consequences are as follows:

Warning.

Move down the ladder.

If behaviour persists they will be warned and moved again. If after two warnings there is further inappropriate behaviour they will be issued a Yellow Card and will miss the next morning break.

Red cards are issued for serious offences such as fighting (including play fighting), damaging property and serious disrespect.

Homework…• Spellings – Set Friday to Friday.

• Mental Maths - Mathletics – Set Friday to Friday.

• POW! Each half term children will have to complete activities to award themselves 5-8 points.
