Headteacher’s Award

Reception

Ethan

During his first term in Reception, Ethan has consistently shown a range of positive character virtues. Ethan is a kind and diligent member of the class who consistently shows respect and compassion towards his peers. Ethan confidently shares his views during whole class discussions but also listens attentively as his peers talk and asks appropriate questions to find out more about their opinions or experiences. Ethan shows the characteristics of being a 'good neighbour' as he understands the needs of others and always forgives others. Ethan has made so much progress this term and that is mainly due to his high levels of motivation and his drive to master new skills even when things may be a little bit tough. Ethan not only rises to the challenges set within the classroom environment but also continuously sets himself challenges and never settles for just good enough. Ethan has made all of the Reception staff extremely proud.​

Year 1

Mason

Mason has made a huge leap this term in Year 1. His drive and persistence particularly in his phonic and maths learning, is encouraging to all. Mason comes to the classroom ready to learn, sitting well on the carpet from the beginning of the day, where he regularly contributes in discussions with his ideas and thoughts. He remains focused on a task, through his hard work he can see the results and his confidence has therefore grown. Mason has worked hard on being a kind friend at school and is respectful to others. Recently he has enjoyed the task of tidying up the reading area which he loves and takes on other roles of responsibility, offering help to his peers and teachers. Mason has started to truly demonstrate a love of learning, through his approach and in the work he is producing. Keep up the great work, we are proud of you!

In a short space of time she has established herself as mature member of the class who is well thought of. She has a natural affinity with English and frequently displays drive when writing in any genre or style. Her use of adjectives, connectives, adverbs and fronted adverbials creates a fantastic fluidity in her writing, it has been a great pleasure to read her work. Fatima’s calm and empathetic nature ensures that she is always neighbourly​ in the classroom and she has a wide circle of friends. She is always respectful to her peers and the adults of St Luke’s.
