Standing up for our World-School Council

SCHOOL COUNCIL

All children are part of the school council. The children in Class 3 are working towards choosing one of the 17 Sustainable Goals each term to focus on and then sharing this with the children in Class 2.

Last term, it was Number 3-Good Heath and Well-being.

As per our school vision and prayer, we think of how we can make a difference in our school, in our village and in our world.

Last term, we focused on mental health and wellbeing, looking at emotions and using The Colour Monster and the film Inside Out as stimulation. The children made posters using Adobe Express about emotions and how to look after our mental health.

 

We also had a super Friends from the Village session (Intergenerational) during which the visitors talked with the children about what they do to feel good using conversation starter cards.

For our world, the children decided to raise money for the Toilet Twinning charity. They decided to hold a non-uniform day and organise a cake sale (making posters to advertise). We raised an amazing £120 which allowed us to twin with two toilets (one in Uganda and one in Zimbabwe).

 

Our next goal will be Number 2-Zero Hunger. The children are in the process of planning what to do in local and internationally to raise money. It is likely that we will collect for local food banks and then look at an international food charity. The children had some great ideas for fundraisers and decided on a 'Nearly New Bring and Buy Sale' which will be held on Friday 4th April.

For the summer term, we are planning to choose Number 13 Climate Action. This ties in well with staff and governors who will be meeting to discuss and complete our Climate Action Plan with our Sustainability Lead.
