Expectations of children in Year 4 We respect ourselves and each other. We always tell the truth. We do as we are asked the first time. We work, talk and walk around quietly. We listen to other quietly and politely. We finish our work carefully and always do our best. We look after our school and everything in it.

Rewards and Consequences…

Your child will start on green every morning and afternoon. If they stay on green for the half term they will receive a certificate.

If your child makes a positive choice about their behaviour he/she will move up to either bronze, silver or gold. Anytime they move onto these they will receive a sticker. If a child achieves three golds in one year he/she will be invited to a special event at the end of the year.

If your child makes a negative choice about their behaviour he/she will move down to blue, yellow or red. Blue behaviour will result in a warning. When Yellow behaviour occurs you will be notified.
