Minutes from the Children’s Board on Monday 27th February 2023.
What is our job?
As members Berry Brow children's board, it is our job to represent the opinions, feelings and ideas of our classmates to the teachers in order to help improve standards and create a school that we thrive in. We have a number of meetings over the year where we discuss elements of school life as well as any issues or concerns raised to us by our peers. We work with Mrs Mason & Miss Blackburn to achieve our goals and we regularly meet with our headteacher Miss Fraser to make our ideas come to life.
How can we help?
Do you have a problem or concern in school? Or maybe you have some amazing ideas you would like to share? Find one your class representative and pass on your thoughts. We will share your ideas with other children's board members and teachers to try to make our school the best it can be!
How can I become a member?
At the start of each academic year a new children's board will be elected. To become a member you need to fill in an application telling your class mates why you would be a good member. Once this is completed you will need to return your application form to school. Your class mates will then hold an election or vote to allow the selection process to be fair.
We are always thinking about our school Ethos!
Be a team
Everyone is valued
Respect should be show to everyone
Realise the potential of the children in your care
"You" can choose your path
Be safe and keep others safe
Rely on each other
Open your mind to learning new things
We are proud of our children and staff
Today the children have written to Cummins to thank the lovely people for painting Vera’s.
The Year 2 children told the new Children’s Board members about what happens at the meetings.
Today the children on the new Children’s Board have been selected. These children wrote reasons why they should be selected. The reasons are for good listening, being able to write down our good ideas. These children will continue for the next academic year.
The children received a badge and are looking forward to their first meeting later this term.
We have had a meeting with Miss Blackburn to discuss safeguarding in our school. We have decided we are going to make our very own leaflet for adults and children all about the fantastic things we do in school to keep safe.
We will need to meet together a number of times to plan, prepare and create our leaflet. We can not wait to show you once it is finished!
Watch this space for our new members - COMING SOON!
The current Y2 members of the children's board will meet Friday 1st October to re visit the classroom rules.
