School Council Meeting Minutes
Term 1
What an amazing team! Our School Council have worked hard during our meetings this term and we are proud of all our achievements.
23rd September 2024
During our first meeting, we looked carefully at the events calendar and discussed what we could do to help promote the events, as well as coming up with our own new ideas and suggestions. How brilliant!
30th September 2024 and 14th October 2024
During these meetings we spoke about ‘World Mental Day’. We created posters that we put up in the staffroom to help our lovely staff. We have been helping to promote our new initiative, ‘WOW Walking to School’, we have been in constant contact with all of the teachers checking how many children have been walking to school and we have to say that we are very impressed. In our next meeting we will be looking at the data and giving the children their October Badges.
We cannot wait to see their faces!
30th October 2024 and 6th November 2024
During these meetings we discussed the importance of Remembrance Day and why it is meaningful to us. We came up with some ways for our school community to get involved and decided to create a poster for the reception area so all the grown-ups could see it.
'Remember to stop at reception to buy a poppy, because it is a symbol of hope.' – Filip Year 2
'Remembrance Day is special because it’s when we think about people who were very brave in the wars'- Amalie Year 1
'Remembrance Day is important because it reminds us of people who helped make the world better and safer.' - Murphy Year 2
'We wear poppies to remember all the brave people who helped us stay safe.'- Oliver Year 1
12th November 2024
Today School Council had a huge responsibility, we needed to complete a survey to help improve our school meals. We thought carefully about each of our answers and also thought carefully about what other meals we would like to have in school. We were really happy to see that everyone in School Council eats school meals at least three or four times a week, and we all think the food is delicious and tasty.
It was a very productive sessions because after finishing the survey, we then sent an email to Mrs King telling her our opinions about OPAL.
We are all having a great time at lunchtimes and one of the things that we like the most is having the opportunity to play with everyone in the school. Some of us like having the opportunity to make friends from other year groups and seeing our younger siblings at playtimes.
'I like spending my playtime in the garden digging and finding different insects' - Harry Year 2
'During Opal I play with my friends taking care of the babies, we like holding them and putting them to sleep' - Amarie Year 1
'I like doing beautiful drawings during Opal with children from Year 1 and Year 2'' - Ivy Year 2
