St Margaret's Infant School

Term 4

We started the term with a meeting about Online Safety and how we keep safe and learn about this topic in school.

All classes were represented and the ideas of the classes were discussed with Mrs Stevens (ICT Lead). The children all knew that the Big Red Button was amechanism to help them if they ever felt uneasy about something they saw on the computer. They also knew what to do with the iPads and Chromebooks (those pieces of tech that do not have a Big Red Button)- simply turn them over, close the lid or switch off the device.

The children were able to talk about the work that the classes had done and displayed in their Class Floorbook. Well done children, keeping safe online is so very important and you have demonstrated just how to do this.

Term 3

We have started the new term with a discussion about new Reading books we have in school as well as the Talk Through Stories we have been enjoying so far this school year. 

We will also be talking about the outdoor areas and how we can make better use of them. 

We will be discussing the forthcoming Book Week and Class Reps will find out ideas and suggestions for the themed week we hold in school. 

Term 2

We continued our meetings in Term 2, discussing different aspects that affect school life. We have talked about and made suggestions to the Westbrook Trust Pledges for their offer for all children in the Trust Schools. We even had a meeting with Mr Allen, the CEO of The Westbrook Trust and he expressed how pleased he was with our contributions to the meeting. 

Term 1

This term the children in each class voted for who they wanted as their School Learning Council representative.

Congratulations to the following children for being chosen by their peers;

The School Learning Council reps have met and spoken about their views of our school and held Class Learning Forums in order to get their peer views on the KS1 playground and the new equipment. We have also discussed the children's views of how the children in Year R have settled into school life. Feedback has been very positive, showing that the majority of children in KS1 enjoyed and could talk confidently about their learning this term. Year R have enjoyed their first term and were also able to speak about the learning that they have been doing.

A big thank you to all of our School Learning Council representatives for taking pride in their roles and contributing to our meetings!

The children worked together to create an acrostic about our school as shown below:
