School Council Newsletter
Thursday 4th March 2010

Football in the playground

There have been quite a lot of problems playing football on the small playground and the all weather pitch at break times.  We discussed ways that we could improve this and make it fun and enjoyable for all.  We decided that children should take it turns to be the goalkeeper and that it would be a good idea to put goals up on the small playground.  We will also be giving each class a football rota to display.

Brighton Marathon

Brighton will be having its first marathon this year on Sunday 18th April.  To celebrate this, we thought it would be a nice idea for each class [and teachers/parents?!] to run/walk/jog around the field, and jointly as school run the 26 miles that make up the marathon.  Each class will run a certain number of laps [5 laps = 1 mile], with some children maybe running more than others.

Would your class be interested in running/jogging around the field?

Water Fountains

A plumber has been called to fix or replace the 4 water fountains.  This will be done by the summer term. 

Haiti

A big thank you to everyone that donated money on our Hats for Haiti day.  We raised £126.24 - well done!

Please remember to put any ideas in our idea box by the School Council notice board, or speak to your reps. 

Date of next meeting: 18/3/10
