Value

Examples we saw

Aspiration

·       The mini midday’s were doing a fantastic job at helping to support the children – serving them their water, putting out the cutlery

Responsibility

·       Children were using good manners

·       Children were eating nicely

Leadership

·       The mini middays were doing a great job

·       The children sitting at the tables were setting a great example by sitting nicely

Determination

·       One of the mini middays found it tricky to pour the water but he was determined to do it

·       We saw a child struggling to open their packet of crisps so they asked their friend and they managed to help them!

Respect

·       Children were following the rules by walking sensibly around the hall

 

Action points:

  • Could we play some calm, relaxing music in the hall whilst children eat? The school council children think this will make for a calmer environment and will help to keep the noise level down
  • The school council children will create some posters to put up in the hall to remind children to remember their manners – especially their pleases and thank yous

We had a very busy meeting this week! We arranged to meet with the midday supervisors to give them our feedback on lunchtime provision. We discussed our ideas to improve lunchtimes, specifically regarding football. The midday supervisors were very supportive and we are going to implement the ‘football zone’ and the ‘red and yellow’ card system next week! We also thanked the midday supervisors for the fantastic job they do.

Action points:

· Children need to understand the rules of football so they can play nicely together – maybe an assembly and class teachers could talk to children about it? Maybe Mr Greenfield could help?

· Maybe we could have a ‘football zone/area’ for the children

· More equipment for the goal?

· Could there be a designated adult to be the ‘referee’ for the football zone? Could they have a red and yellow card? Yellow = warning and red = 5 minutes ‘time out’?

· More equipment? Spare footballs in case the football goes over?

We had another very important meeting this week…we met with one of the assistant headteachers, Mrs Sparrow, to feedback on the first week of our new lunchtime initiatives. She was extremely impressed with the hard work and commitment we have shown in improving lunchtime provision. After our meeting we arranged for Mr Greenfield, our sports leader, to deliver an assembly all about football rules. We agreed that we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the new football system and we may even introduce it to other year groups…let’s wait and see!

Monday 30th October 

We had another very important meeting this week…as it was the first meeting from Term 2, we discussed the agenda for this month. Some of us had brilliant ideas that we would discuss in future meetings. We also monitored the football on the playground, making sure all children are following the rules and playing safely. We are even thinking on implementing our spectacular ‘football zone’ in Year 1! We are going to have a very exciting Term 2. 

Monday 6th November 

We had another very important meeting this week…During our weekly meeting we discussed the importance of the Poppy Appeal and why people donate money to the campaign. We then organised ourselves into small groups so we could go around the school collecting the children’s donation in return for an item. Then we agreed that two year 2 and two year 1 children would go everyday around the infants’ school collecting the money for the Poppy Appeal. We also sent an email to all the teachers explaining how we have organised it and asking for their support.

Monday 3rd May

We had another very important meeting this week…During our weekly meeting we discussed the events that are happening during this term and we are super excite about The School Disco! We thought it would be a good idea to create some colourful and fun posters to make sure everyone comes and enjoys the disco! We then decided to put our posters in the Year 1 corridor and around the hall. See you there!

Monday 20th May

We had another very important meeting this week. During our weekly meeting we discussed the importance of being responsible for our belongings. After school, we walked around the school ground looking for any jumpers and cardigans left behind. With help from staff we sorted out all the uniform from the lost property boxes and organised the jumpers and cardigans into groups, we have also designed our own labels that we will put in each box.
