I had two kids who got picked for quite a lot of stuff and one who got picked for nothing. Our primary school tended to spread things around a fair bit though.

It is really unfair when the same children get picked time and time again though. It's great that Ellie tried so hard and did her speech and that is something to be proud of. The trouble is when children make lots of effort to try to get picked Louise (Little Hearts, Big Love)https://littleheartsbiglove.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797136949052460166.post-72641278261902436272017-09-20T09:59:48.284+01:002017-09-20T09:59:48.284+01:00I'm with you, the same happens here and it'...I'm with you, the same happens here and it's so, so sad.

We have star of the week picked by the kids and it's never for a specific thing just based on who's the popular one although I get the feeling that the teachers do mix it up a bit so it's less obvious and everyone gets a go. With school council They put themselves forward, then the kids vote. Although in the younger years the teachers again have more day and it tends toEmma Thttps://bubbablueandme.comnoreply@blogger.com
