You Can Do It!
Whilst the children settle in, we will be working with them to establish routines and expectations. The main way we do this is by introducing them to our positive behaviour programme – You Can Do It! Through this initiative, the children learn appropriate behaviours for learning and socialising. Across the year, children are rewarded with tokens when they use words, actions or behaviours that demonstrate the focus areas. The tokens are then added to the child’s individual reward section on the You Can Do It! Chart.
The four focus areas of You Can Do It! Are:
- Confidence; overcoming fears, trying new experiences and interacting with others.
- Persistence; not giving up! Changing their behaviour and trying again.
- Organisation; being able to follow the rules, organising their own resources,
- Getting along; sharing with others, involving new friends in their play, saying please and thank you to everyone.
The tokens will then add up to the following rewards:
- 10 tokens in one area = a certificate
- 10 tokens in all areas = a medal
- 20 tokens in one area = a badge
- 20 tokens in all areas = an invitation from a Senior Leader to join a celebration party.
- 30 tokens in one area = a wristband
- 30 tokens in all areas = You Can Do It! Teddy
All awards are given out during the weekly Early Years Foundation Stage Collective Worship.
