Class Dojo Has Arrived at Newdale!

Class Dojo has launched at Newdale, and our pupils have been incredibly excited to start earning Dojos! The poster below highlights some of the many ways children can earn Dojos in school.

Why not ask your child if they have earned any Dojos yet and what they received them for?

Parents and carers can also sign up to Class Dojo to join in the excitement and keep track of how many Dojos their child has earned. If you have not already signed up, please log in to Arbor, where you will find the relevant link.

Towards the end of each half term, pupils will have the opportunity to spend their hard-earned Dojos in the Class Dojo Shop. Rewards may include special treats such as:

  • Wear slippers for the day
  • Sit next to a friend
  • Choose an item from the class prize box

A Few Reminders About Class Dojo

Class Dojo is currently being used solely as a system for rewarding positive behaviour choices. It is not being used as a method of communication, and messages sent through the platform will not be monitored. If you need to contact your child’s teacher, please use the year group email addresses or the home-school communication books.

Pupils can also earn Dojos for completing their reading and homework each week.

For reading:

  • Years 1-5:
    • 5 reads = 3 Dojos
    • 4 reads = 2 Dojos
    • 3 reads = 1 Dojo
  • Year 6:
    To help prepare pupils for the expectations of secondary school, children must complete 5 reads each weekto earn their 3 Dojos.
  • Reception:
    Dojos for reading at home will be introduced later in the year.

Previously, stickers were placed in home-school communication books each Friday to show how many house points had been earned for reading that week. This system has now been replaced by Class Dojo, so please log in regularly to see how many Dojos your child has been awarded.
