Secret Student!

This half term, Class 4 have be taking part in something called 'Secret Student'. Every day a 'secret student' is picked at random by the teacher (who uses lollipop sticks with names on to choose) and that person is watched carefully throughout the day. They recieve either a pass or a fail for every lesson and one for organisation. If they receive 4 or 5 passes in a day (out of 5) they get a point for the team (the class). Each day the results are announced although the person's name is only revealed if they gain a point for the class.... These points are collected throughout the half term and the pupils must average 4 out of 5 passes per week if they are to achieve a prize.
Today the final results were announced.....
...and we did it! We achieved the exact amount of points required to get the prize!
Next half term we will hopefully not have such a nail-biting finish as pupils were unsure if they'd won until lunchtime today! These pictures show the prize - a whole afternoon of special 'Golden Time' where the pupils were allowed to bring in toys and electronic devices from home. Well done Class 4 - you really earned this prize through collective good behaviour and organisation.

"It makes you behave and do what you've been asked to so that you can get a reward and play games." Rachel
"I think it is really helpful because people really want to win the prize." Charlote
