Title: School House Groups - Name Ideas Post by: Waz1892 on July 10, 2011, 07:30:47 PM Hi,
I have been elected to come up with some ideas, concepts, names for the local schools new venture into House Groups. Ideally the thinking is the names could also become part of a term project. School is a Primary School, with ages from 4-11. I need to come up with 30 names... So I thought it was very apprioate obv to ask on a Gambling site for some ideas! So far - Planets & Stars Captial Cities - my idea so far, as each "city" could learn about their city for a term project, and throughout the yeaer, could learn more about that particular city and country Local Road Names - Intially schools idea (Which I shot down, so was given the task!) UK Cities Scientists & Inventors Title: Re: School House Groups - Name Ideas Post by: George2Loose on July 10, 2011, 07:31:58 PM Blue

Why do you need so many names? the idea is that they have a recp, yr 1, 2 ,3 ,4 ,5, 6 in each house. So each house has 7 members, 210 pupils.

Why do you need so many names? the idea is that they have a recp, yr 1, 2 ,3 ,4 ,5, 6 in each house. So each house has 7 members, 210 pupils. Seems like massive overkill... In any case, think kids should be inspired to learn and being in a house named after a famous scientist or inventor would help that process imo. Good luck choosing 30 names!

We had 3 house names, Resolution, Endurance, Endeavor. I was House Capt of Resolution, and it was 1 boy and 1 girl as House Capts. the most popular Girl was selected...pretty, clever, good at sports, etc, you know the type. It was announced at assembly, and i was asked afterwards by one of her mates would i go out with her! Me, out with the prettiest girl in the School!....break-time comes around, and we met by the wall where Killer Tennis was played.... We kiss, I'm in heaven, and she breaks away, and promptly states,.." Bet won, your chucked" School could be so cruel!

This - the Houses should go vertically, that way you get recp and yr 1's up to years 5 and 6 being integrated into a community because they're all in the same House Greek or Roman Gods would be my preference for House names - plenty of scope for mythological and historical investigations from that Title: Re: School House Groups - Name Ideas Post by: rex008 on July 11, 2011, 10:52:34 AM Definitely use the scientists and inventors idea imo.

Ours at school were named after reasonably famous old pupils. Unfortunately this meant that one house was called "Ball's" after Albert Ball, famous WWI pilot and VC winner. Didn't stop 8-11 year old kids sniggering, obv. But gave the history teachers excuses to set the same research projects every year :). Senior and Junior schools had different houses. I was in Trease's (Geoffrey Trease, Author), then White's (can't remember). Each house also had an associated colour that was worn on certain bits of uniform. Ours was red. So I was in White's house, with the colour red. ;frustrated; 30 houses? Madness, frankly. Title: Re: School House Groups - Name Ideas Post by: millidonk on July 11, 2011, 11:01:00 AM This.

Beegees and Oasis went to the same school as i did as a kid (Oswald Rd, Chorlton) as our Headteacher reminded us every single morning. Would have been quality being named after them.

Maybe they could put all the clever and healthy kids in the Cambridge house and all the thickos and fatties in Lincoln? This would help them to know their place and realise where they might end up if they don't buck up their ideas.

I guess this doesnt really work with doing projects though as you cant repeat them each year.
