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!

Fundraising for Comic Relief
This year for Comic Relief the School Council decided that they wanted everyone to come to school wearing something red. The Council also sold Red Noses throughout the day and managed to raise a fantastic £253 for Comic Relief! Well done to all involved!
Odd Socks Day for Anti-Bullying
This year the School Council decided that they wanted to take part in ‘Odd Socks Day’ to mark the first day of Anti-Bullying Week 2018. The Council also chose to host a whole school assembly all about this years theme – ‘Choose Respect’.
Infant Playground
The School Council’s project for the spring and summer terms are to help to create a more active and fun playground for the infant children. The school’s PTA have raised money through movie nights and other events, so the children were asked to look through some catalogues to find equipment for the yard.
