Playground Buddies start January 23 – Please use class council time to organise

Playground Buddies

School council decided, today, that:

Everyone will be a buddy for a day, each week, for 5 weeks. 

Buddies will be on duty at breaktime and lunchtime on their duty day.

School councillors will organise and manage the Buddies, in their class, with the help of class teachers. 

School councillors will stand in for absent buddies. 

Mrs Hadley will provide a blank rota and cap, to all classes, by Monday 12th December. 

Everyone has to take their turn at being a buddy. 

 A buddy will: 

Wear a cap when on duty 

Play with others if they are lonely 

Be responsible and fair 

Help children who are hurt 

Put the equipment away 

Fetch and put away bell 

Reminding everyone to stand still when the bell goes

The 52-Storey Treehouse

By Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton

This book is about Andy and his friend Terry who save Mr Big Nose, but then they get stuck themselves and so a girl has to save them. My favourite part of the story is when Terry sees the donkey and has to walk for ages.

Spoiler alert: the girl is the vegetable killer. Shhh!

The Night of the Living Dummy

By R L Stine

This is a well-written book that will surely send a shiver down your spine. When I read this book, I really enjoyed it, as well as having some daunting thoughts about the doll, Slappy. The Night of the Living Dummy is based on two twin teenage girls Kris and Lindsey Powell. Lindsey finds an evil doll “Slappy” who haunts Kris constantly. I am warning you now because YOU’RE IN FOR A FRIGHT KIDS! Enjoy reading this awesome book.

Rating: ***** 5/5 Amazing

Genre: Horror

Age: 7+

Recommendation: I strongly recommend this book for children who have a liking for horror books. (No worries, this book is fine for children over 7 – it is not the scariest book to read.

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid In The Deep End

By Jeff Kinney

I like this book because all of the family have different opinions (e.g Dad wants to visit Civil War battlefields and take part in a re-enactment. Manny wanted to go to the Animal Safari. Mum said they should go in their own community. and Rodrick and Greg thought they should go to thrills and spills waterpark). It has a lot of funny pictures and they have brilliant adventures! I rate this book 4.5 out of 5.

Rating 4.5/5

Genre: Humour

Age: 5+

Recommendation: I would recommend this book to people who like adventures and have a good sense of humour (this book is suitable for children 5+). You should buy this book!

Unfortunately, due to other commitments, the next school council meeting will be on the 2.12.22

In the mean time, please use your class council meeting times to design the ultimate school playground.

You could work in teams, pairs or individually to come up with the best playground plan for our school.

Please submit your fabulous designs to your school councillor before 2.12.22 so that we can share them at the next meeting.

We look forward to seeing your designs.
