At PCP, we love teamwork!
In order to encourage this at work and play, we group our children into Hive Teams from Reception upwards: Blue, Red, Yellow or Green. Children can earn hive points for positive behaviours linked to our core values, being bothered and working like clockwork. During sports activities and competitions, children can also earn points for great sportsmanship and determination.
Behaviour and sporting points are combined and totalled each week. Weekly Hive winners are announced in Friday's celebration assembly.
Hive points are converted into hive potions for each team. The Hive Captains pour in the potion their team has earned. This accumulates over each half term; at the end of each half term, a winning hive team is announced. They will be rewarded with shared team celebrations.
Y6 Hive Team Leaders are in place from September. During the summer term of Y5, children who would like the posts are asked to make a written application or create a digital presentation to showcase their leadership skills. Captains, Vice-Captains and Monitors are then selected after an interview. One of their roles is to support younger learners at lunch-times; they are always very popular!
