Start by finding a wall that’s perfect for your display. You might decide to choose one by your school’s entrance or foyer, so that parents and families can see the weekly achievements of children in each year group. Compliment your display with our lovely Star of the Week Display Banner, making your space look extra lovely. Maybe your child worked hard this week and finished all their set work in maths, when usually they are renowned for chatting and not completing their task. Perhaps a child made you say 'wow' when they showed you their colourful, hand-drawn storyboard in history. Congratulate, celebrate and support them as they strive to achieve. Why not explore the rest of our classroom essentials? This resource is great in any classroom, and can be really valuable in SEN classes. We've got plenty more Essential SEN Resources here if you're after any more! You can use these superstar certificates each time your class has showcased success or effort in lessons. We’ve got you covered! Now that you’re ready to hand out your certificates each week, you might decide to show off your children’s amazing work with your very own achievements display.

You may wish to print one certificate that can be laminated and put on the display wall. You could write the Star of the Week's name on the display for everyone to see. You can also go the extra mile by creating sensory assemblies for those children with additional needs. A great idea is to have a separate room for your own assembly, where you can give out the certificate and accompany this with a sensory activity relating to their achievement. For example, if a child has shown great number recognition skills, you might fill a tuff tray with sand, encouraging other children to make numbers in the sand. This is a great way to stay genuinely inclusive and allow collaboration between children’s achievements. Looking to create your own star of the week certificate display? Star of the week is an opportunity to celebrate children’s successes across each year group. Typically, each teacher will choose one or two children to receive this award during their assembly on a Friday. Children might receive the award for being kind to others, showing a growth mindset, overcoming challenges or showing positivity. Alongside this, you could bulk-print awards and keep them in a folder, ready to use in lesson time when you observe something brilliant. With our star of the week certificate right here at Twinkl, we’ve made it easy to celebrate your children’s successes in school. This certificate can be used to recognise when children are kind to others, develop a growth mindset, try really hard in lessons and work to cultivate their skills.Growing up and learning can be full of obstacles - some big and some small.

Sometimes, too, children will create amazing work beyond your imagination as their teacher. Celebrate these triumphs and help children to understand in which areas they shine as individuals. Your children may like to wear headbands and wristbands that recognise their achievements instead of certificates. Tailor awards to the preferences of your children to get the most excitement and pride out of rewarding them.
