A welcome to all new pupils

There have been lots of new children starting at our school recently. Mr Lavis would like us to create a welcome booklet tro give to new children. We thought this was a great idea and had lots of ideas about what children really need to know aboiut a new school from a child's perspective like where the toilets are and what to choose for golden time!
We made a list of all the things we thought should be included and sorted out who would be responsible for each part. See minutes for more infortmation.

New Year!

School Council had our first meeting of 2011 this week. We invited the RRS representatives as our main job was to create a whole school charter. This needs to be similar in style to our class charters which work so well but focussing on the values we feel most important for the character and development of our school.
Holleigh and Oliver will take this Charter to present to the Mayor at the next network meeting to show her hao RRS in action.

Back pack action.

2.11.10 School council met today. One of our jobs was to review the progress of the back pack appeal. Mrs Rees showed us an example of a prepared backpack.

We discussed how we could promote the appeal. We decided to make a display in the entrance hall and prepare posters to remind people of this important project.

Holleigh and Jacques suggested we wrote to local shops to see if they would donate items for us to include in our packs.

Holleigh takes the Chair!

School council meeting 14.10.10.

Holliegh took the chair and led us all in our meeting.
We discussed tomorrows open day and agreed to work in pairs to welcome and show visitors around the school.
We then discussed the new initiative suggested  by the Blandford school to provide backpacks full of school essentials to children in places like Malawi and Liberia. This will help the poorest children to get a primary education that may otherwise be denied them..   More information on this will follow.
We voted to support this chaity this year instead of the usual shoebox appeal.
