Agenda.
·        Network plans for the talent show.

Schools Network Meeting.

On Thursday 6th October the school councils network will be holding their first meeting to discuss plans for each school to hold their own talent show with the finalists going through to a network final before Christmas.

Action
Mrs. Rees, Katie and Harry will attend.

Matters Arising.

Yr  6. Jordan raised the question, ‘Could more space be made available for football at playtimes?’
School council discussed the question and decided that as KS2 have 2 astro slots a week and KS1 one each that taking the field up with football as well would be unfair. The vote was 9 to 1. Sorry Jordan!

Yr5. Phoebe had been asked to appeal for another lunchbox trolley as sharing with year 4 causes problems at lunchtime and later when children return for their boxes.

We will consult Mr Lavis on this one!

Yr4 Were concerned with behaviour around the summer house. Apparently the stone slab has been lifted and is causing problems.

 School council felt a member of staff needs to be close by at playtimes.
Mrs. Rees thought Mr Bannister might be able to embed the slab a little deeper.

Yr 3 Jamie and Molly were concerned about people rolling and sliding on the hill and getting muddy.

They offered to make a sign to remind children not to do this.

Yr2 Millie and Jamie had been asked to mention the brambles on the nature trail which have been hurting children and have particularly been a problem in cross country.

We will ask the groundsman to look into trimming these back.
Good point yr 2!

Yr2 Had also been asked by Joshua if he could have somewhere safe to leave his bike if he cycled to school with his mum.

We decided to consult Mr Lavis on this one as well!

Chair Katie closed the meeting and thanked everyone for coming.
