excellent attitude
fantastic lining up
superb effort
brilliant tidying
wonderful kindness
good listening
super sitting
beautiful manners
The whole class can be given the same card so that all children are looking out for the same behaviour or they can have a mixture of cards so that they are looking out for different behaviours. I hand these cards out in the morning and we talk about the behaviours that we are going to be spotting and the children keep the card on their desk throughout the day and when they spot another child displaying the behaviour then they write that child’s name on the card.
At the end of the day we then share the cards and celebrate those children who have been spotted doing the right thing.
These cards encourage children to think about and look out for positive behaviours whilst also engaging in positive behaviours themselves.
Aimed at Early Years and Key Stage One children.
A set of 8 classroom behaviour certificates for teachers to use when they spot a pupil displaying one of the positive behaviours. The certificates are for -

A fun Maths activity to introduce children to 3D shapes and related vocabulary.
The lesson includes interactive activities for the children to join in with. The lesson shows children different 3D shapes and describes their properties. Children then have to guess the 3D shape that is being described or the shape that is being slowly revealed. Children then have to use their knowledge of 3D shapes to explain why a shape eg a cuboid is not a cube. This activity is good for assessing children’s understanding of 3D shapes and encourages them to use the related vocabulary. There is then a chance for children to spot 3D shapes in the classroom, children could either record this on whiteboards or on paper. There is also an odd one out activity, this activity again encourages children to use the vocabulary to describe 3D shapes. This lesson encourages lots of talk and discussion about 3D shapes.
