Welcome by EG

Discussed the agenda and councillors decided on Forest School and the Playground as areas they wanted to talk about.

Forest School

• We discussed the new ‘classroom’ being built in Forest School and councillors were happy that this could mean they could go out in all weathers.
• Y2 councillors put forward a desire to go to Forest School more often and also would like more campfire sessions.

Playground

• Discussed whether there could be more climbing/play equipment built in the playground e.g. monkey bars and ladders.
• Suggestion for there to be times where Junior school children could come to play in the playground and have a role similar to Friendship Heroes if there are children struggling to find someone to play with.
• An area dedicated to dancing.

Councillors then fed back ideas from their prospective classes about what the potential reward could be for reaching the Gold token line. Suggestions were:

• A movie afternoon,
• A teddy day
• Arts/crafts day
• Use of iPads

Councillors were also asked to feed back about careers their classes were interested in so we could get visitors in to talk about them. They suggested:

• Doctor
• Biologist – e.g. David Attenborough
• Policeman
• Footballer
• Librarian
• Optometrist

The ideas for rewards and career visitors with be fed back Miss Dixie.

Councillors will discuss these subjects further with their classes to come up with any further ideas.
