Clockhouse Weekly Wow

Here is last week's Weekly Wow and as usual there were a lot of things to 'wow' about last week.

Time to CELEBRATE - Value Champion Alert!

We are very excited and pleased to share with you that we have more Clockhouse Value Champions of 2024-2025!

A huge congratulations to

Freddy H (Australia)

who have earned the Learning Champion Award for 2024-2025!

Freddy deserves a learning badge because he consistently demonstrates resilience in his learning. He approaches challenges with determination, showing resilience when faced with difficult tasks. Freddy actively participates in lessons, asks questions, and is always eager to improve his understanding. In particular he has been working extremely hard in Maths. He also supports his classmates by sharing ideas and encouraging others in their learning. His enthusiasm, hard work, and resilience make him a fantastic role model.

Harry T (Japan)

who have earned the Excellence Champion Award for 2024-2025!

Harry has blown me away with his excellent attitude to his learning and his continuous strive for excellence. His improvement with his handwriting since September is incredible and his books represent the vast improvement he has made. Well done Harry, we are very proud of you. 

James M-H (Japan)

who have earned the Learning Champion Award for 2024-2025!

James has shown hard-work and determination to further improve his learning in all subjects. Recently, I have been impressed with his continuous efforts to ensure his learning is the best it can. He listens to feedback and is keen to improve even when it becomes tricky. Well done James - keep it up!

Omar D (South Africa)

who have earned the Respect Champion Award for 2024-2025!

This person is such a fantastic model of what respect should look like!  He can always be relied upon to be kind, polite and respectful to adults and children alike.  He listens carefully during lesson inputs, has beautiful manners and takes good care of our school resources and equipment. Well done Omar, you are such a valued member of our class!

Olivia G (Argentina)

who have earned the Nurture Champion Award for 2024-2025!

This member of the class is always eager to learn and help her peers. She will work with those around her to help them when they face something challenging. She is always kind and ready to offer her time to support her class mates with their learning. Well done!

Emilyah L (Argentina)

who have earned the Excitement Champion Award for 2024-2025!

This child always shows great enthusiasm in her learning. Since joining Clockhouse this year she has shown great curiosity and excitement in every lesson and has made great progress. She always shares her ideas and asks great questions to deepen her learning. Keep it up!

James D (Peru)

who have earned the Excitement Champion Award for 2024-2025!

He is a person that shows excitement in all areas of school life, something that every adult that works with him has commented on. Whether it be dance, computing  (his real passions) or anything else, he greets it all with such a positive outlook, a can do attitude and an excitement that is contageous. He is never disheartened by feedback, but instead relishes the opportunity to improve, whilst encouraging others to do the same and celebrating their achievements, so that they too are enthusiatic to try their very best. We are all beyond proud of him and truly value the positive and excited energy he brings to learning every day without fail. He is a true assest to Year 3.

A huge well done from everyone at Clockhouse - wear your Values Champion Badge with pride!
