21st June

Discussion with Mrs Osman and Mr Philp to set dates for 'Teacher of the Year Award 2011'- Parents in Paganel working with School Council:

• 5th July will review what makes a good teacher and set categories for our award
• 5th July plan project, prepare forms and promotional material 
• 12 awards in total
• 5th July to 18th July is time to vote for your teachers in classrooms
• 18th July following award of each category, balloon hustings/debate/final vote for teacher of the year?  Maybe teachers could pitch why they think their award is most important, i.e. I think it's most important to be best dressed because...I would argue being the kindest is...

School Heroes project - to start in September

Family Day - Still to be discussed

14th June

Following on from last meeting, uniform sale took place Wednesday 25th May - we raised £65, to go to school fund, and the next Friday we ran a non-uniform day which made a further £176!  There are still items unsold which will remain available to view/buy for a few more weeks outside main school office area - please add any other clean, folded items we can sell.

For 'teacher of the year' awards, following discussion with staff, we would like to run a number of more fun awards, and try to encourage positive comments about staff from children, parents.  I will arrange a box, and next wee, we will decide what the categories will be (children can't vote for own teacher, can comment on own teacher, one award per teacher), e.g.:

Stictest teacher

Kindest teacher

Creative teacher

Smartest teacher

Best Dressed teacher

For 'Local Heroes' project in September, we are starting to put together a plan with staff, so all children will take part across the school.  Project could also link to 'Faces and Places' workshop.  Will discuss further next time.

Family day visit - I will see if possible to have a 'family day' next term, possibly to take place families who sign up to a local venue (like local Park or Martineau Gardens?) to have some fun and short chat about our school.
