Every Friday, we hold a special assembly for all members of our school. We use this as a time to reflect on the previous week, share the wonderful things members of our school have achieved and think about what the next week might bring.
As part of this assembly there are a number of awards that can be handed out to nominated children.
Weekly Awards
Both of these awards are handed out weekly, with one of each for every class in our school.
Monster Point Winner
Children at Caedmon can earn 'Monster Points' for positive behaviours in class and around school. These points are awarded by members of staff. Each class keeps a running total. At the end of the week, the person with the highest number of Monster Points is the overall winner. They receive a prize from the treasure chest in Mr. Wisby's room, a certificate and a point for their school family.
Power of the Letter
This is chosen by teachers and awarded to children who have made an exceptional effort over the previous week. It can be for a wide variety of reasons: being incredibly helpful, producing consistently excellent work, setting a good example to others and many, many more. The letter (signed by Mr. Wisby), is intended to give the children 'power' when they take it home - that their parents may have something to read that tells them how proud Caedmon is of their child and to encourage them to feel extra-special because of this.
Occasional Awards
We have a number of other awards children can be nominated to receive during the celebration assembly. Not every award is handed out every week - it is only when they are appropriate for the achievements of the children.
