We looked at all of your ideas and spoke to Bob about them: - Girls changing room for Upper KS2. The problem could be solved by the boys and girls getting changed on time and respecting each other. The teachers would need to monitor this. - Some children want school footballs to play with at playtimes. We used to have footballs but they were kicked over the fences. Harry suggested having a bigger fence. Adrien reminded us that we have a not over-the-shoulder rule. - Hand driers are a bit too high and don’t always work. - Drinking fountain in the top corridor. - New books in the book corners. Library? - Books are too far away for children in the portacabins to get. A lot of reading time is wasted. Children will need to talk to their class teachers about the best time to get them. - More toilet rolls in the girls toilets. But some children are wasting it. The older children need to remind the younger children about what to do. We’ll meet again to discuss the ideas that we didn’t get time to share and email them to Bob. Next Meeting: Tuesday 24th November during assembly time. School Council meeting minutes Please read these out to your classes 2.12.15 - Y6 boys and girls changing for PE is getting better as the rules are being followed most of the time. We need to remind each other to be sensible and respectful. - Football safety. We need to remind each other to be safe, and ask an adult to watch what’s going on. A 1-minute time out was suggested with more time if it keeps happening. Playground staff to monitor this. - We’ve put signs up in the toilets as a reminder to look after them, but still they’re not being respected. Children need to be reminded that the toilets should be used at break times and only go during lesson time in an emergency! We can also remind each other about how to look after the toilets. - Also, there’s a broken lock reported in the girls and boys toilets in the top corridor. We’ll report this to Mrs Knight. - The chocolate fountain suggestion keeps coming up. It’s a oneoff treat maybe if we can find someone with a chocolate fountain. - We’d like to give the Christmas play donations to the Children’s Society charity as a thank you for providing us with Christingle materials.
