Autumn term elections

This half term we have elected our School Councillors. The children in Key Stage One were given the opportunity to stand for the election, they were then shortlisted by a fair vote in their class which gave them their final 4 candidates- 2 boys and 2 girls. These 4 children then created posters and displayed them around the school to campaign for votes. On Monday 26^th September classes voted for their final candidates and results were revealed in a special assembly.

Mrs Agnew and Miss Sabir are looking forward to working with you on our exciting projects. Remember if you have any ideas to make our school better to find and tell these children they are there to represent you and share your voice!

Some of the projects we will be doing this year are:

Establish rules and routines
Book areas- what would children like in their areas?
School Council children to walk around the school, send questionnaires, report findings to staff.
Promote Staff Reading Area In Staff Room
Promoting the reading chair- Midday Supervisors to take charge
What types of clubs would children like to see being offered?
Selling poppies for remembrance
Focus on sports, children to send out questionnaires to ask children around the school what experiences they would like to take part in i.e. parkour, yoga etc.
Children to carry out ‘improvement walks’ to potential areas of improvement on the site.
Children to explore and reflect on the rewards system in place in school.
Children to create transition videos to show the next year group.
Plan and create a summer fete stall.

Current Projects:

Our School Councillors did a great job selling poppies around the school and at time for tea for remembrance day on the 11th November to remember all the brave soldiers who fought in the war.

This term the school council have been busy with their new projects. We have had some teachers from around the school asking for our help.

Miss Armstrong came to our meeting and asked for our help to promote more reading in the school we are going to look at new ideas for our reading chair we are excited about this and have come up with lots of ideas already.

Miss Smith also joined us for a meeting to discuss Sports premium money and what we could use this for. The School Councillors put together a questionnaire to ask all the children in the school what they would like.

Past projects:

As reading is an important part of our curriculum, each classroom is lucky enough to have a reading corner where children can go to read a range of books. We have been given the opportunity to discuss with children how the book corners have been improved. To begin we have received new furniture to make them more comfortable and cosy. We look forward to improving the reading corners further in the future.

Past Project: Staff Reading Area

Miss Green attended our meeting on Wednesday 24^th November. She came to ask for our help with creating a reading area in the Staffroom. Together we came up with some ideas of how we would like to create a relaxing reading area for all the staff. We were looking forward to creating and promoting this area.
