Buddy Stop is Buzzing

To all mentors.
The Buddy Stop mentors are always looking for ways to improve what they do. At a recent meeting they devised a set of rules to help them stay focussed. Jess gave me permission to print the rules here: I thought you might be interested. (You may have to ask them what some of these mean)
  • No clapping in meetings
  • If you dis. anyone we get two days off that month
  • Don't tell ANY friends about Buddy Stop
  • Buddy Stop has to be run every day with two people on it
  • Chart
  • Do not involve FRIENDS in Buddy Stop, getting in the way, waiting for you, etc. It wastes time. Tell the friends you have got Buddy Stop
  • Break a rule - get a day taken off that month
  • Mature a lot

They really seem to be trying new ways to make it work, and have already made some good decisions and helped younger pupils, not just in year five. Well done, Buddystoppers, and keep going everybody.
