Class with the most dojos are the class of the week across KS 1. Rainbow, sun, cloud and rain - All children start each day with their name on the sun –for ‘wow’ work and/or behaviour the children will be moved to the rainbow. If a child receives a ‘warning’ their name is moved to the cloud, if a second warning is needed, their name is moved to the rain cloud. Children who have ended the week on the sun receive dojo points; those who have made it to the rainbow receive extra dojo points. All children have the opportunity to work their way back from ‘warnings’.
