School Council Projects – Spring Term
Meeting date: 10.02.25
The school council discussed the importance of recycling around school. Students were passionate that this is something as a school we should do for the environment. It was agreed that an email would go out to all classes and office areas asking if they would like a recycling box. Ms Hayes designed a recycling label; council members delivered the boxes and labels. All classes now have access to a recycling box.
Crisp Packet Project was brought to our attention by Oliver from Pink Class as well Miss McHugh from Phase 5. They each thought it would be a fantastic opportunity for school to become involved in and make a real difference to people. The charity collects crisp packets and turns these into blankets for both homeless people and people struggling with the rising heating costs. The school council are going to participate in a live demonstration/workshop on the 14/3/25 seeing how these blankets are created. Please watch our video link to see what it is all about? I hope you can support us with this project. Look out for further updates on social media. https://crisppacketproject.com
School council discussed how to support Pawz for Thought. It was agreed that we would create and share a poster requesting a range of small animal foods, pet toys and bedding. The collection would be open until 20/3/25. The school council set up a donation station. Mr Rue agreed to an animal dressing down day on the 28th February. All staff and students paid 50p for the privilege and there was a prize for the best dressed. The winner of the competition was Keisha from Yellow Class. Mrs Abel, Ms Hayes, Mrs Dixon and Mrs Murphy made and sold cakes to raise additional funds. We are pleased to announce that we raised the huge total of £201, which will be presented by Shaun, Ryan and Pink Class on their upcoming visit to the Pawz for Thought on 24/3/25.
