Minutes of meeting 30.4.15
Working together to make a difference.
An emergency meeting was called today to discuss the earthquake crisis in Nepal.
Jodie chaired the meeting in the absence of Henry.
Most children had heard of the earthquake and the terrible conditions that the people in Nepal are living in at the moment. We, the school council, felt strongly that we would like to raise money to help provide emergency care for these people.
Several fund raising strategies were discussed but we decided on a sponsored run around the running track. After some discussion, we decided YR should try for 2 laps, KS1, 4 laps, and KS2, 6 laps.
The organisation of this event was discussed and a letter to parents and carers, drafted.
We also designed a sponsor sheet for children to take home and collect sponsors.
It was agreed that each class would organise their own event during the week beginning 14.5.15.
Mrs. Rees thanked everyone for their enthusiasm and quick thinking.

Henry led the school prayer.
Agenda
Spending the enterprise fair money!
We achieved an amazing profit of £333.00 at the enterprise fair! This gives us about £165 for each key stage.
We broused the catalogues for trikes and scooters first. Unfortunately, the trikes cost £199 each and so were too expensive. Then we spotted a special offer of four scooters for the price of three, at a total of £149.97. This looked like a good buy!
The goal posts requested by Key Stage 2 were a bit trickier. Altrhough Henry found some at £88.95 we decided we would take expert advice on this before we go any further.
AOB
No issues arising

Chair Henry suggested that if we could raise some money that half could be spent replacing bikes and trikes and half could be spent on new balls and goals for KS2. This was agreed.
We discussed possible ways of making money. - cake sale
- unwanted toy sale
- Enterprise week profits.
