House System 2024-2025

At Chilcote Primary School we have four Houses: Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire and Topaz.

Each pupil is allocated into one of the houses. Throughout the year they participate in many different house events including quizzes and sporting competitions.

Pupils from Year 1 onwards also try to earn house points in order to win prizes for themselves, but also to contribute to a whole house total. The house with the most house points at the end of the year will win a trophy.

To lead our houses at the beginning of the year, a House Captain and a Vice Captain are elected from the Year 6 pupils. The house Captain and the Vice House Captain this year are:

Emerald: House Captain: Violet         Vice Captain: Alfie

Ruby: House Captain: Zoya          Vice Captain: Imaan

Sapphire: House Captain:  Lilly      Vice Captain: Jake

Topaz: House Captain: Florence   Vice Captain: Ayaaz

 

We also have house mottos to keep our house members inspired to aim high:

Awesome Emerald racing to the finish line

Ruby always chasing our dreams no matter what!

Soaring Sapphire - born to win!

Talented Topaz Launching to Greatness

Ruby House Captain Speech 

Hi ruby. My name is Zoya, and I wish to be the next House Captain. First, I am going to talk a bit about myself, my ideas for the school year and then why I want to be House Captain. 

Some of my hobbies are sports, drawing and just having fun. I am good at art, cross-country, sprinting and making sure everyone feels included and valued. My favourite subjects in school are P.E, art and D.T. 

My ideas for the school year are another chance at the talent show, a religious festival at school(a party) a water fight in summer and a ‘Nutmegs Competition’ on the playground at lunchtime, which is basically when you are against another player trying to meg each other. Whoever has the most points, wins. 

I have the passion and enthusiasm to assist teachers and students in making this school a more fun and exciting place to be. I will also make sure that every child is seen and heard of in school by celebrating their achievements. I believe I am the right person to be House Captain because I am responsible, trustworthy, honest, hard-working and friendly. If I’m chosen, I promise I will perform my duty as House Captain to the best of my ability. 

I will make sure that ‘Resilient Ruby will rise to the top!’ 

Thank you for your time, 

Zoya

 Emerald House Captain speech 

 Hi, I’m Violet and I want to be house captain because I’m kind, funny and always up for a challenge.  I know lots of loyal people and I love helping people as well, I am responsible, sporty and I love doing things to the best of my ability. I will arrange lots of fun things around the school. This is my speech so vote for me if you want emerald to succeed. 

 

Emerald Vice Captain speech

Good Morning,  

My name is Alfie. I would like to be hope captain of emerald as I represented my class in year 3 as school councillor and found I had positive qualities to represent my peers. These were skills of listening to what my peers wants , feeding this back to staff and being mature enough to understand why some things we have asked for are not possible. I am an honest person and I promise to be the best captain I can be for Emerald, but I also expect members of Emerald to represent us the best they can- by following school rules, working hard to earn us house points and respect our school. In return I will do my best to get us more footballs and sports equipment , as many people have asked for this.  

Thank you for listening and I hope you have a good day.  

 

Sapphire House Captain speech 

Good afternoon, everyone, 

First things first, being House Captain isn’t just about wearing a shiny badge or bossing people around (although the badge is pretty cool). It’s about leading by example, being a great friend and showing true team spirit! 

 A House Captain should be someone who’s a good listener, someone who can represent all of you, and -let’s be real- someone who can make everything we do a bit more fun! I think I’m the right person for the job because I love helping others, I’m a great role model and I’m always up for a challenge. Plus, I’m a pro at bringing the fun-whether it’s in sports, activities or just making the school day better. 

 Now, let’s talk about winning. Sure, it’s awesome and I totally want us to win. But it’s not just about winning. It’s about the effort we put in, the fun we have and how we support each other no matter what happens. But hey, a few trophies wouldn’t hurt, right? 

 So, if you’re looking for someone who’s got energy, a good sense of humour, and a whole lot of heart I’m your person! Together, we’ll make this year the best one ever for our house filled with teamwork, laughter and, of course, victory!  

 Thanks so much for your support. 

Lilly

 Thanks for your support 😊 

 

 Topaz House Captain speech 

Hi my name is Florance, if you do not know me, I’m honest and a great listener and I would represent topaz where and when I am needed. 

The main reason in which I am here is to make terrific topaz tour to the top once again. I know that are house is the best house and is full of amazing talent full of the most amazing people. Are you tired of losing the sports day, losing the house points? Well as your captain, I can help. I will encourage people to show their talent to prove how great you are, how great we are. So let’s get back to the rewards that are rightfully ours. I promise you this, as your captain, Topaz will win!, This is our year !. 

 

Topaz Vice Captain speech 

My name is Ayaaz. I like playing cricket and badminton. I think I would be good at the job because I am a good role model and I am great at maths, so I can track house points fairly and accurately. I have the capability to lead TOPAZ to victory. Now, who would like that! I will make sure any questions you have about anything will be viewed and answered. Thank you for listening to my speech.
