Hero of The Week

Every Friday we have Hero of the Week.

Throughout the week the children get to nominate someone that they have spotted showing their People Powers. We have to write on the nomination ticket which People Power they were showing to deserve the nomination. Our People Powers are: Be There, Play, Choose Your Attitude, and Make Their Day.
Once we've written on the nomination ticket we put it inside our Hero of the Week box and this gets drawn out on a Friday.
On a Friday we need to shake the box and then we draw out 3 lucky people to become our Heroes. These 3 people get their photos taken and we put the photos on the wall to celebrate for next week. They also get to choose something out of the prize box.

Here are some of the people who have been nominated so far.

What do you do to celebrate your heroes in your learning space?

Play- Challenge yourself and have a go!

One of our school People Powers is 'Play'. We have been learning about showing 'Play' through challenging ourselves and having a go.

In one of our Power Time lessons we had lots of balloon challenges that our teachers set for us and we used collaboration to get the balloons from one side of the room to the other (without them touching the ground).

We also sat in a circle and challenged ourselves to pass a ballon around the circle in different ways. We found it easiest to pass it around with our elbows because we had more control, but hardest to use our chins because our chins and necks weren't big enough to hold onto the balloon.

We definitely had lots of fun learning about showing 'Play' by challenging ourselves and having a go! We try hard to show 'Play' in our learning as well. 

When do you challenge yourself?
