Pupil Council member
Our pupil council members have had a busy term learning about their roles in school and within their classes.
So far we have talked about the conduct at our meetings, completed pen portraits about ourselves and gathered fund raising ideas.
We have recently had a visit from the Local policing team. They worked with all classes and covered a range of topics.
In nursery and reception they learnt about the role of the police and had the opportunity to try on some police clothes and hats.
In Key Stage 1 the children discussed with the police ways of keeping themselves safe and what to do in an emergency.
In Key stage 2 pupils learnt about online safety, knife crime, arrestable offences and what age you can get a criminal record.
Our pupil council members gathered the views from pupils across school about what they had learnt.
Below is some feedback from our children:
This week, our pupil council members are promoting "One kind word" which is the theme of our anti-bullying week.
We have gathered some of our pupils work:
