School Council Meeting 7.1.11

Today's meeting was well attended. Lewys chaired the meeting and Georgia took the minutes.

After the Christmas break it was a good chance to raise issues that we want to discuss over the next few weeks.

  • Freya would like the school council to discuss how effective the golden time system is.
  • Toby would like the school council to review the new football system.
  • Erica wanted to discuss how we could improve the ICT facilities.
  • Toby suggested that the school council could do an assembly to give examples of good ways to keep the school rules and help with conflicts between friends.

Golden Time

Ms Devane and the teachers discussed golden time at a staff meeting and decided that the school would trial doing golden time activities in each class rather than across the school. This means that teachers can allocate golden time daily or weekly, or fortnightly to fit it in better with their timetables. Children from each class had lots of ideas about how to make this work best, such as offering a wide range of activities, making sure there are opportunities to go outside (weather permitting) and encouraging the children to suggest weekly golden time activities. The school council  will discuss this further after the new golden time system has been running a few weeks.

Internet Use

Several older children wanted to know why they can't access all the same websites at school as they can at home, for example some free online computer games. Lewys explained that Leeds Learning Network is designed to stop children being able to see websites that could be unsuitable for them and this is important.

We're going to try to blog every week so logon again soon to find out what's happening.
