Minutes from School Council meeting held on 13th June In our last school council meeting we have decided that... Reception and Class.3 would like to have an outside Climbing frame. We are saving money so we can afford to buy this. Class.4 have decided that they would like a Friendship corner and this will be talked about in assembly and the year six buddy's will take care of this. Class.1 would also like to make the lunch area brighter. This was also agreed upon after our survey about the lunch area. We have talked to Mr.Willams about this and he has decided to paint and decorate the room with posters and bright colours. Feedback from School Council School Council Feedback from Circle Times about the lunchtime environment. Do you think the lunch area is welcoming? You said that you would like the lunch area to be more colourful with work displayed from all year groups. You would also like chairs and tables to be a more comfortable size. Do you enjoy eating your lunch? Yes although some people would like school dinners. Lots of children would like to sit more with their class / friends. You would also like lunchtimes to be quieter with fewer children dropping food on floor. What do you think of the fruit scheme? You enjoy your fruit but would like the compost bins emptied more. Some of you would like fruit for sale or a fruit bar. KS1 like getting to try new fruit but don't like all of them. Some of you would enjoy a more filling but healthy snack such as a bread roll. Do you think that teachers tell us enough about healthy eating? Yes Do you think the equipment is good? You would like proper cups and cutlery. You also don't want the cups washed with the cloths that wipe the tables. You would also like compost bins in the lunch area and bins with flip lids. Would you like a water fountain? Most of you would like a water filter in the lunch area although there is some concern over queues. Would you like hot school dinners? Some of you would although some of you realise the kitchen is too small at the moment. Is there anything you could do to make your lunch more healthy? You thought that lunches could be given points for healthy foods. Also that we could give parents guidelines about what we would like to see in lunchboxes. Are you happy with the lunchtime clubs? Some of you would like more clubs at lunchtime although others don't like missing play. Classes 3 and 4 would like an art club at lunchtime. Many of you feel that the broken playground equipment needs replacing.
