On Thursday 12th December the KS2 school council children visited Inglewood Care Home on the Chester Road to deliver some festive cheer! They sang Away in a Manger and We Wish you a Merry Christmas to the residents before delivering a festive hamper of treats and Christmas cards made by the KS1 school councillors. It was a wonderful and festive afternoon and the children represented the school brilliantly. 

Our First Project 

Following the first meeting with their school council lead teacher, the children decided on a theme of 'the environment'. This could include the learning environment, the outside environment and included our new entrance hall that is currently looking very fresh but a little bit plain! The children came up with ideas as to how we could brighten up this space to welcome visitors to our lovely school. The children offered their suggestions including phots, artwork and models and decided that some photos of them busy in their learning environment would be perfect for the space.

Mr Pearce is an avid photographer and agreed to take the photos with support from the school councillors as his directors! We can't wait to see how the photos turn out! 

Halloween Games! 

During the final week before half term, the PTA kindly donated 3 Halloween games for the children across school to enjoy. The games were raising money for PTA funds and were 50p a go. We were so proud of the Years 5 and 6 school councillors who visited each classroom to deliver the games. The school councillors were responsible for coordinating the activities, collecting the money and giving out the prizes! They did a super job! 

The School Council children across school planted Bee Bombs (wildflower seed balls) this Spring to attract Bees to our school site. Bee Bombs contain over 15 different species of wild flower seeds. The children enjoyed learning about the importance of bees before planting the bee bombs in the planters outside. We look forward to seeing the flowers grow!

The school council children have been busy painting rocks and stones with words to represent and describe our school. They gathered the words from their classes and fed these back in their meetings before painting them onto the rocks. During our summer thanksgiving event, the children shared some of the words with the whole school and the rocks have now been put on display outside our school entrance area.
