Following the Golden Rules

Golden Time in our school is a time for relaxation and fun as a reward for good behaviour during the week. Everyone in school is expected to respect our Golden Rules, which are as follows:

We are gentle
We do not hurt anyone
We are kind and helpful
We do not hurt people's feelings
We are honest
We do not cover up the truth
We work hard
We do not waste your own or other people's time
We listen to people
We do not interrupt
We look after property
We do not waste or damage things

Children are encouraged to take responsibility for their own behaviour and understand they have choices and that those choices have consequences.  Every Friday the children who have been following our Golden Rules get a chance to be part of a fun and friendly activity.

This week we have been talking about how we show that we have been following the Golden Rules.  Here is what two boys in our class say about working hard and not wasting our own or other people's time.

Hard workers really concentrate on their work and never talk. I think Sid is a really hard worker in our class because he always gets his work done on time.

Does your school follow the Golden Rules?  What sort of fun activities do you get to do?
