Minutes
 Kelly won the Christmas bauble competition from
Crudie.
 Isla and Kelly’s mums have decided against car
sharing.
 £40 raised from October’s Dress as you please
went to Headway, a brain injury association. Letter
is displayed on Pupil Parliament noticeboard.
 Teachers in P1-4: Mrs Young is our new teacher
and pupils will be informed of when we get a start
date for her.
 Laptops: Laptops still to be numbered. Big class will
organise a workshop for the New Year. Mrs R
showed everyone a sheet that they can add their
names to if they need a new username and
password to get on to the computers. The sheet will
be displayed on the Pupil Parliament noticeboard.
Mrs R asked everyone to support Parent Council
events as the money raised may be put towards
new computers in the school.
 The new line for milk is working well.
Mrs R said that Taylor had been very upset the other day
as some of his milk money had gone missing from his bag.
Mrs R stressed the importance of keeping money safe and
being responsible. Mrs R asked for suggestions on how
we could address the problem.
 Harry thought people could put their money in their
packed lunch box.
 Various people suggested having a wallet or purse
to keep money in or a special pocket in their school
bag.
 Isla thought people could pay their money at the
same time as their dinner ticket or each person
should have a jar that they keep their money in in
the classroom.
 Inga thought the money could be given to the
teacher.
Mrs R asked Mrs G through to listen to the suggestions. It
was decided that we should have another list that is done
at the same time as the dinner list where pupils can hand
in their money for their drink and it is noted on the list.
Then Mrs G knows which pupils have already paid at
lunchtime and she can hand out the drinks. This way
pupils won’t have money hanging around all day. Mrs G
will make up a new list ready for Monday.
Mrs R said that the boards in the playground are looking a
bit tatty. Pupils agreed. Abbi said that there are bits of

wood coming off them and someone could get hurt if they
ran their hand over the top. It was also mentioned that
when it is raining, if you put your back against the boards
then paint comes off on to your clothes. Mrs R will speak
to Mr Minty and get him to take them down.
Mrs R put a note home yesterday reminding everyone
about Your Shop on the 30th November. Mrs R explained
that it is a shop in Banff that raises money for a different
group each week. The week of the 30th is Crudie’s week.
Mrs R asked pupils to have a clear out of anything that
they didn’t want and bring it in for selling in Your Shop.
Even if each pupil managed to bring in one item that would
be fantastic. Please check with parents first before you
bring it in. Money from Your Shop will go in to School
Fund which pays for our trips and hopefully more
computer equipment.
Mrs R wondered if pupils wanted to do another dress as
you please for charity as we have just recently done one
for Children in Need. Only 6 pupils didn’t think we should
so we have gone with the majority. Ideas for charity:
 Shelter: wear your slippers to school – 17 votes
 NSPCC: Bobble hat day – 10 votes
 Text Santa: wear a Christmas jumper – 3 votes
After counting the votes, we will be supporting Shelter and
wearing slippers to school on the 22nd December. Some
pupils were concerned that they didn’t have slippers.
Pupils can wear fancy shoes or fancy socks if that is the
case. Slippers don’t have to be Christmas themed.
Donation will be £1.
The Nature Nurturers spoke to the school about their
plans for having 2 chickens at Crudie. Abbi’s granddad will
be donating a chicken coop and run. A rota will be made
up for feeding and cleaning out the chickens. The group
are hosting a competition which will be 50p to enter and
you need to come up with ideas for the chicken’s names.
The winner will get the first batch of eggs that is laid.
