1. Marble-ous Behaviour at Drayton Park

2. When I am learning in class: I sit on the carpet or at my table. I always follow instructions. I sit still and quietly. I make sure my hands are empty and my feet are still. I always look at the person who is speaking and give them my full attention and best manners. By doing this, I am showing them respect. I ignore distractions and listen quietly. I do not call out or speak over people. I do not get out of my seat without permission. I put my hand up if I need something and wait for my teacher’s response. During partner talk, I look at my partner and we take turns to speak and listen to each other. We keep our conversation on task. When my teacher asks for silence, I am quick to respond. I join in with clapping to get the class’ attention. I stop what I am doing and quickly get myself ready to listen. When I am asked to move from one area of the classroom to another, I do this quietly, silently and sensibly. I do not waste learning time. I am always kind and considerate to others in my class. I will always try to be helpful and to participate. I always try to make my class team stronger and work hard towards our class reward. I will use ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. I will show courtesy to others.

3. When I am moving around the school: I am sensible. I walk and do not run. I am completely silent. I will not talk unless an adult asks me a question. When moving with my class, I line up in a straight and quiet line. I face the front. I keep my hands to myself. I listen out for instructions from my teacher. I work hard to make sure my class looks like the best class in the school at all times. I stand up straight, do not lean on walls or displays. I do not fidget with anything that I pass. I show courtesy to others. I let them pass. I hold doors for them. I show I am thinking about their needs.

4. When I go to assembly: I walk with my class silently and sensibly. I make sure that I enter and leave assembly in complete silence. During assembly, I sit on my bottom with my legs crossed. I face the front and give the adult my full attention. I sit up straight and show complete respect. I keep my feet still and my hands to myself. I do not distract or bother anyone around me. I keep my hands empty and do not fidget with anything. I do not talk unless I am asked a question by an adult. If asked to move by an adult, I follow the instruction quickly and politely. I do not make a fuss and waste time. I show respect at all times. I work hard to ensure that my class looks like the best class in the assembly hall at all times.

5. When I am in the playground: I treat others with courtesy and respect at all times. I use ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. I never insult others or use rude language. I do not tease others. I am particularly polite in the dinner hall. I say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ to the cooks. I sit and eat nicely. I do not shout. I scape my plate into the bin carefully. If I disagree with someone I talk to them about it. I do not shout at them. I follow adults’ instructions quickly, without any fuss. If someone wants to play my game, I will try to include them. I never spoil other people’s games. I keep my play gentle. I do not play roughly and I do not play fight. I never use violence. This includes pushing. I follow the rules on all the equipment in the playground. I treat play equipment well. I look after it and use it the right way. I always ask permission to go inside the building. I freeze at the first bell and stop using all equipment. At the second bell I walk to my line. I line up properly. I do not get a drink once the bell has gone.

6. Our system is changing a little bit: The reward for filling the marble jar is now going to be “Marble Time”. We hope you’ll earn it every week! We want to reward children who behave really well, especially those who are good all the time. Each week, on Friday, the child in every class who earns the most marbles will get a special reward. This week, you can earn the reward every day! We will not take marbles out of the jar for poor behaviour any more. Instead, you will get two warnings, then time out in class, then you will lose 5 minutes of “Marble Time”. If you are missing “Marble Time” for poor behaviour, you will have to complete a reflection sheet. You can still earn marbles as a whole class for great behaviour. You can also lose them as a whole class, if you do not behave well enough. You can still earn raffle tickets in the playgrounds and of course, Drayton Park Way postcards.
