SCHOOL COUNCIL 2024-2025

Meet our new School Council for 2024-2025

We held our first meeting of the year today and discussed what we wanted to improve about our school, how we could raise money for resources that we would like and which charity we wanted to support.  We chose the RNLI because a local company (Clayton Engineering), where some of our parents work, make the lifeboats that are then sent out and used all over the UK by the RNLI volunteers to rescue people.

We also voted for our new Chair and Vice Chair of School Council:-

Annie, supported by George, will take the position of Chair

Honey, supported by Frankie, will take the position of Vice Chair

Well done everyone for a very productive meeting!  Our first event will be next Friday 27th September when we will be hosting a cake sale at break time to raise money for the RNLI!

ADERYN DU P4C (Philosophy for Children session)

We enjoyed playing ‘Shuffleswap’ as a warm up game:-

‘Does the universe go on forever?’, ‘Sharks or crocodiles?’, ‘Christmas or birthdays?’, ‘Is it better for a lamb to live a short life and then be eaten, or not live in the first place?’, ‘UK or Australia?’

We then looked at ‘The Painting We couldn’t Ignore’ (‘An experiment on a bird in the air pump’) and discussed how making progress (technology and medicine) can often be controversial- tests and experiments on animals and humans.

Lunchtime activities.

Some of the year 5 and 6 children have been making the most of the nice weather and have been helping to dig steps out on the field.
