'What is a Pea Fayre? I hear you ask'.
Well, a Pea Fayre is a good behaviour reward system, used in the 7L class to reinforce the school’s behaviour system. Students are given a chickpea for good effort and achievement and each chickpea is worth two merits.
All the chickpeas given in one lesson are put into a jar and when the jar is full, the students are rewarded with a Pea Fayre.
The students proceeded to set up their own stalls based on the students’ skills and talents which included origami, henna mehndi patterns, magic, and a café.
The activities were paid for in chickpeas:
-
each activity was worth five peas; and
- everyone was given a bag with 30 peas to use at the stalls of their choice;
Many thank all the parents as well as the staff who came and supported the Pea Fayre. The students really enjoyed seeing you all there!
