The school council have worked extremely hard this week completing a school safety map activity. The children followed a map of the school and thought about how safe they felt in each area. They coloured an area green if they always felt safe, orange if they sometimes felt safe and red if they did not feel safe. We are looking forward to meeting up again after half term to discuss our findings and to work together to make our school the safest it can be.
School Council Meeting 11th December 2023
The School Council were very excited to receive the books that they ordered with the Scholastic rewards last month They spent some time during lunch unpacking the books and getting them ready for the school library for all of the children to enjoy. Well done School Council!
School Council Meeting 13th November 2023
It was lovely to welcome our new school councillors to their first meeting of the year. They had a very important job to do of picking new books for the school library using the reward points we received from the Book Fair. The children thoroughly enjoyed browsing the Scholastic website and picked a range of books from Harry Potter to Peppa Pig at Christmas. I’m sure that all of the children in school will appreciate and enjoy a new exciting range of books to choose from at reading time.

School Council Elections
This week has been a very important week for the children at St. Bede’s. They have been nominating and electing who they would like to see on the School Council this year. The children came into the hall, made their vote on a ballot paper and posted it into a ballot box. The votes were counted, verified and the children elected were presented with their School Council badges this morning during House Assembly.
This opportuntity gave the children an excellent understanding of democracy.
Healthy School Award 2022
The School Council are delighted to announce that we have achieved our Healthy School award for 2022!
Year 3 Democracy Event
This morning the year 3 school councillors visited the Town Hall for their annual democracy event. The event is designed to explore the ideas that underpin democracy and the democratic process in a fun and creative way.
Initially the children took part in a story-telling session called, ‘Staryland’. The Staryland story describes a magical island far away that, through a particular turn of events, finds itself in need of a new leader. The story asked the children to think about how the islanders could overcome the problem, how a new leader could be found, and what qualities that leader should possess.
After the story-telling session, the children were able to go and sit in the council chambers where they met two possible candidates and listened to their speeches about why they should be voted the next leader of Staryland.
The children then got to cast their votes inside of a polling booth and post them into a ballot box. Whilst the children enjoyed juice and biscuits the votes were counted and the new leader of Staryland was crowned!
Well done to the children who attended the event, their behaviour was exemplary and they were a credit to our school!
