The first full week of school was given over to the
promotion of ownership and pride on what we do in the Faythe School and in our
area. All concerned with the school are encouraged to be tidy, punctual and
responsible for all their possessions and to have a heightened awareness of
litter.
Ms. Kelly co-ordinated the plan which focussed each day on stressing importance of walking through the school on
the left hand side and lining up promptly at bell time and in a safe manner.
Each day was a also a ‘special focus day’……
MONDAY – ME
Personal belongings
eg books, copies , pens , pencils, pencil case, lunch box, folders, coat,
uniforms and art shirts were discussed. It was emphasised that your table and your chair are your personal
space but it is up to each one of us to organise and keep it tidy. For homework
we were given stickers to label all our school books.
TUESDAY –TIDY UP
Each class looked at keeping
the classroom tidy and what is the ‘tidy up at home-time’ routine. Bins were
identified and labelled and the time table put up for ‘chairs up’ and ‘chairs
down’ days because on two days the floors are ‘machine cleaned.’
WEDNESDAY – WALK
Each class went on an inside and outside walk of the
building and we looked at how clean and organised the school looks e.g the
classroom, the library, corridors. Everyone was shown where the ‘Lost Property
Box’ is and we were reminded of the importance of not bringing wrappers and /
or cartons out to the yard.
THURSDAY – TOILETS
On Thursday each class went through the importance of
keeping the toilet areas clean and ‘washing and drying your hands, properly
after a toilet visit.
FRIDAY – ASSEMBLY in HALL
On Friday all the classes went to the hall and Mrs. Kelly
introduced each class who then showed something special they had done during ‘Routine
Week.’ There were lovely poems and songs and loads of great posters with clever
slogans.
Ms. Kehoe’s class made up and performed a song that you can
see below.
