What has our School Council been doing?
Summer Term 2007 - Report

This term Our School Council has:

• Finished our “Pupils Opinions of Camelsdale School Book.” The Ofsted Inspectors were very impressed by this!
• Finished our “Rule Book for Camelsdale School.” This is to help all of us to follow the rules and can be given to new children joining.
• Been to tea with the teachers and Governors and helped with our School Development Plan.
• Talked about “The Learning Ladder”. This may help us to understand at what level we are working.
• Attended a joint Rother Valley School Council  Meeting at Midhurst Grammar School. Emily McEwan and Harry Griffiths represented us. They came back with some good Eco ideas ready for our Eco/ Green/ Healthy week in October.
• Continued to think about our Eco work. We have talked about what to spend our Ink Cartridge Recycled money on... sponsor a child or contribute to towards a Shelter Box or both?? We have not quite decided.
• Hosted a visit from Southwater Junior School Council in Horsham. They came to watch our School Council at work and get some ideas.
• Visited Midhurst Primary School. Tom Sharman, Oscar Brown and Oliver Musgrave represented us and went on a Learning Walk around their school. They came back with some good ideas.
• Hosted a visit from Midhurst Primary School Council. Callum McLean and Rachel Brown showed them round our school. They loved the grounds and our class names!
• Attended a joint Think First School Council meeting at Bosham Primary School near Chichester. Josh Hegarty, Katherine Farnell – Watson, and Oliver Musgrave represented us. Here we talked about our plans for next year and had a swim in their pool!
• Took part in the third Think First Pupil Conference held at Southwater Junior School in Horsham on June 5th. Callum McLean and James Lye represented us. They put up a display of some of our Outstanding Creative Learning and talked about it. They joined in some creative workshops and made a lovely large weaving with all the other children. “It is better to be connected and to work together” was a key message.
• We helped Ofsted Inspectors by talking to them and showing them our School.
• We have helped again towards the Eco Green Flag. Mrs Russell has sent it off now.
