School council met today and welcomed two new members from Reception. It was lovely to have Sophie and Archie and so important that we have the views and ideas of our very youngest chioldren.
Today Holleigh fed back on the Network meeting. We added our ideas to those already suggested about opportunities to link up with other network schools for activities.
We thought the following ideas should be considered
• Whole network barbecue, hosted by BSM.
• Sports and activities day with each school providing an activity.eg orienteering, or teambuilding games.
• Specialist activities hosted by the Blandford School e.g. cooking, band, art.
• Year groups trips to Moors Valley or the beach.
• We all agreed a Network Talent show would be fun, with each school contributing their favourite acts and the final to be held at TBS.
For more cdetails see minutes of the meeting.

An exciting day for School council.
Today School Council took part in the very important process of interviewing candidates for the position of Acting Deputy Head while Mrs. Harris has her baby.
We saw three candidates and asked them questions about themselves, their teaching career, their approach to managing behaviour and their reasons for wanting to join our school. We really enjoyed talking to all the candidates and felt each had strengths and lots to offer our school. We finished our discussions by asking if they thought they had a sense of humour and what was their favourite joke! We learnt a lot from that one!
Later Emma and Leah as our Rights Respecting Representative attended the Network School Council meeting at ABW with Mrs, Rees. Today we added Responsibilities to our Blandford community charter. We also discussed opportunities for the network primary schools to join together to share resources and activities.We came up with some great ideas like a whole network fair, a huge talent competition, sports, art, dance, music events or even a giant picnic.......... Watch this space!

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.
