Behaviour

In Year 3 we follow the Golden Rules.In every classroom is a ‘golden board’ where the rules

are clearly displayed.If the rules are broken, we have sanctions which you

can read about in your booklet. Please support us and talk to your children about the Golden Rules and how to behave in and around the school – as this is an important part of learning how to behave in society.

Houses

• Crown – green • Knight - blue

• Shield - red

• Lion - yellow

The children can earn house-points for their house through good behaviour and good work.There are a number of house competitions held throughout the year so the children can win extra points for their house.

Thank you

We hope that your children will enjoy their time in Year 3 – there will be lots of exciting

activities for them to take part in over the course of the year.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
