Agenda.
The lunch play club has been very successful.
Also children would like a set time to know when they should be going to lunch and a bell or a signal so everyone knows.
School Council would like to support Children in Need and The shoebox appeal. We also wondered if we could donate some money to the hospital that is currently caring for Jack.
Playtime snacks. Several reps reported that healthy lunchtime snacks are slipping, especially in KS2. We decided that each classes school councillors would make a poster reminding children that playtime snacks should be fruit or vegetables only. Also if fruit was left over in KS1 it should be sent up to KS2 so that none is wasted.
