In week 2 of Strive for 5 we achieved another 129 weeks. This means next week we only need to get 87 more weeks to achieve our goal. Keep up the good work everyone, we are well on track to get our prize!! 🙂 Thanks again to the Student Council for all their help! 🙂

For this years Strive for 5 we are aiming to reach 350 weeks after 3 weeks. Each child who is in school for the full week counts as 1 week. After Week 1 we are well on our way having reached 134 weeks. Major shoutout to the Student Council for all their help deciding on a prize when we reach our goal, putting up posters around the school, gathering the data and filling in the chart in the hall. If we reach out goal the children will get to decorate Halloween cupcakes and biscuits and go Trick or Treating to other classrooms to swap their creations. Let’s hope we can keep up the good work!!

Well done to our first attendance champions of the year!! 🙂 Make sure you are in school every day and you could be next.

The Student Council have had a busy start to the year. They have had meetings with Mr Ward to discuss how to improve the school. They have also been coming up with options for our next ‘Strive for 5’ Attendance prize. Then they planted a Scotts Pine tree for Tree Day. When any of their classes go out to the garden they can show them and tell them all about it. It looks like a busy year ahead for our wonderful Student Council.

Thank you so much to the Student Council who helped organise our Park Party as our reward for achieving our Srtive for 5 attendance initiative this year. They also worked on our Kindness Shout Outs at assembly this year, which everybody really enjoyed. As a special treat for being so good and responsible they got to do a fun art activity and designed a spinning top. They also got a few treats to enjoy. Thank you so much for being the schools first ever Student Council!! 🙂
