Investors in Pupils

The children have been working very hard all year towards their individual targets as part of our Investors in Pupils initiative. This term they have been working towards their new targets. These range from sitting on the carpet smartly to learning their timestables or remembering their reading books and diaries. The children take a lot of pride in working towards their targets and when they have achieved it 18 times they have a special trip to Mrs. Kelly's office for a reward in her treat box!

Children's targets: The children 'fly' into the purple circle when they are halfway to achieving their target.


The children take steps to achieve the class target together and as their reward they receive money from a budget they are given every term. The budget only decreases when whiteboard pens, pencils and glue sticks are lost ... money is then taken off for each of these. It's a fantastic way for the children to have ownership and a financial understanding of the resources they use in class. Last term's money was used towards a lovely new gardening area in 2B and 2C have just over £50 .... we'll update you with what treats they spend theirs on!  

2B's class target which has been met 8 times... only 10 spots to go until we achieve it!
