As a class vote on your top 5 favourite playtime ideas.

The meeting closed at 15:00

For next week let your councillors know places that you would like to visit.

The next meeting is Friday 11th October @ 14:30 in the James’ Room.

This year they are all from Y6. They will change half termly and by the end of the year all of Y6 will have had the opportunity to be a PAL.

Their photos are displayed outside Mrs Hadley’s room and they wear big, yellow playground buddy badges so you can’t miss them.

Their mission is to keep you safe and to make you happy. Please let an adult know when a PAL has been kind to you and made you feel happy.

All classes attended.

There were lots of super ideas shared – ask your class councillor about all of the ideas-  and it was agreed the council would vote on their top 5 next week and then share with Miss Haywood.

What do you think about these ideas? DO you have any suggestions of your own?

Here are some of the ideas that class and school council have come up with:

More enterprise days

More non-school uniform days

Celebrate more events in History

Work with more partners

More practical experiments

Love the trips but would like more

Would like to be asked their opinion sometimes

What would you like? Talk to your teacher about your learning and how you like to learn.

Councillors asked their classes how we could ensure that we were a friendly school both in lessons and at break.

Here are some of the suggestions shared at school council:

Be kind

Be helpful

Take responsibility

Be truthful

Have good manners

Listen to others

Let people play

What do you think of these suggestions? Do you have any of your own?

How could we make these ideas happen?

After lots of discussion in school and class council it was decided that school council would concentrate on 3 main priorities:

1. Being a friendly school
2. Really enjoying our learning
3. Having lots of fun at break times.

This blog will share what the classes think via school council but please feel free to add your own idea and comments.

Well done to everyone who took part they have all received a Silver Award certificate for their effort.
