House competitions - Half termly review
Wow! What a brilliant return and half term we have had! Our house teams have been extremely busy collecting tokens, house points, tinned cans and Christmas Shoe boxes for our house competitions this past half term.
In PE, we have been competing in cross country for our house teams. The children have spent the half term training for the final competition. This half term, it was a very close call. In 3rd place with 58 points was Positivity. In joint 2nd place with 59 points each, Determination and Perseverance, making the winners in 1st place with 65 points RESILIENCE!
Our school attendance target is 97.6% but we are not quite there just yet! Let’s hope with the lead up till Christmas and the exciting festivities, that we will be able smash the attendance target. In 4th place with 93.3% is Resilience. In 3rd place with 93.83% is Positivity. In 2nd place with 94.19% is Perseverance, making DETERMINATION the winners with 94.69%.
The children receive tokens from a number of different ways in school, some include winning Star of the Week, having 5 daily reads, signed in their home-school log books, from 100% attendance weekly and also from receiving house points.

In 2nd place with 391 tokens was Determination and flying with 502 tokens was RESILIENCE!
