Classes 1, 2 and 3: playground space
The council discussed this matter and decided that to put slides and swings in the playground would be dangerous, attract children on to the premises when school is closed and take up a lot of space. It would also be dangerous for small pupils in KS1 to play in the KS2 area as they may be knocked over.
Class 4: theme day
Everyone on the council thought that this was a good idea. Mrs Coverdale said that it may be possible to have one a term. Mrs Maloney is trying to organise a Book Character Day as at present there is a whole school reading project.
Class 5 i: to have a longer playtime
After some discussion Mrs Coverdale said she would speak to the KS2 staff about lining up at the start of break- time.
Class 6 i: to have more football pitches
The council discussed this item and decided it would be a good idea as there is only one pitch marked out.
Class 7 i: permanent goalposts
The council decided it would be not be a good idea as it would attract children on to the field to play when school was closed. Also children may swing on the posts.
Class8 i: fruit tuck shop
The council discussed this item and decided it would be a good idea.
Members from each Class outlined the above items and a full discussion took place of the advantages and the disadvantages of each item. The members then took a vote on which of the items to action and Class 4: won the majority vote. It was decided to bring this matter to the next staff meeting.
