Behaviour Policy and Curriculum

Sir Alexander Fleming Primary School and Nursery

Behaviour Policy and Curriculum

‘Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviour.’
Mahatma Gandhi

What do our children think about our Behaviour Systems?

“Opportunities can never be reached unless you are well-behaved”

“Our rocket system works well as it shows the children that they have consequences”

“The teachers are fair and follow through with the consequences”

“It is a good system because there are lots of people to talk to who support you, like the SLT, Rainbow Room, Mrs Fisher, behaviour mentors”

“You can go to the calm room if you feel stressed or worried”

Everyone has a right to feel safe at school. The staff at Sir Alexander Fleming Primary School and Nursery are committed to ensuring that every child is protected from harm. Everyone is of equal value and will be valued equally regardless of whether they have a disability, whatever their ethnicity, culture, religious affiliation, national origin, or national status, whatever their gender and gender identity and whatever their sexual identity.

It is everyone’s responsibility to help make our school a happy place where everyone can be successful. We expect that the respectful behaviour of children will enable teachers to teach, and each other to learn. Everyone is responsible for their own behaviour and our expectation is for good behaviour offline and online. Good behaviour is something to be proud of and so is rewarded and celebrated. The education of many children will be protected from disruption by a minority who are demonstrating unacceptable behaviour; this will be met with consequences. Parents will be informed about the expectations of the school and about the consequences if the child behaves inappropriately in school, in the community and online.

Please find attached a copy of our school behaviour policy and behaviour curriculum for 2024.

Welcome to Year 5

We are so pleased to welcome you to Year 5!

This term we will have lots of fun and learn plenty along the way! We will be exploring lots of exciting topics such as Space, the Vikings and delving into the journey of Ernest Shackleton.

If you need anything at all, please don’t hesitate to ask any of the adults in our year group.

Weekly Events

AUTUMN PE

PE will take place every Tuesday and Wednesday for both classes.

Please ensure your child has the appropriate PE kit.

AUTUMN OUTDOOR LEARNING

We are very lucky to experience Outdoor Learning. Classes will take part in this every other week (usually on a Thursday).

Home Learning

SEESAW

Seesaw is our online learning platform and is where we will put any information that we need to share. Please sign up to view your child’s journal as you will get a great insight into what they are up to at school and we can reward them for their home reading and any other home learning tasks! If you need a reminder of your login please speak to your child’s class teacher.

READING AT HOME

We encourage all children to read at home for at least 10 minutes per day. Reading should be recorded on Seesaw using the journal post uploaded by your teacher each week. This could be by sharing a video of you reading, a sound file, a photo or a written summary of what you’ve read.

We are very lucky to have access to Reading Plus. Reading Plus can help your child acquire the skills needed to become a confident, capable reader and lifelong learner.

Reading Plus can:

Improve their fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and stamina
Build vocabulary
Increase motivation for reading

Children should be aware of their login for this and can access the login page from the link below:

SPELLINGS

Spelling tests will be on Fridays.

We encourage children to practice these at home as much as possible.

A Parent’s Guide to Practising Spellings at Home

Why spelling practice matters…

In Key Stage 1 and 2, the focus is on developing accuracy as well as a range of strategies for spelling.

Although teachers will highlight spelling errors to children, it is important children recognise for themselves when they have made an error and know a range of strategies for correcting inaccuracies. By this stage, children will have a range of spelling strategies that they will have been taught to draw on. Children will use the strategy which best suits their learning style and works best for them.

Helping at Home

Parents can support children by practising any spelling patterns or spelling investigations which are sent home as part of home learning and also by helping children to read and spell the Y5/6 word lists (included in this document).

Children will practise these spellings throughout the week in spelling lessons and will be tested on a Friday using some of the words from each week or others with similar spelling patterns.

We will track your child’s progress in spelling through the statutory word lists and half-termly reviews.

Remember to make practising the words enjoyable and not a chore.
