Keen to help our environment, School Council members have been spreading the word and encouraging their friends to recycle any waste paper.
Keep an eye out for one of their posters and remember to put any clean paper waste into your class recycling bag.
The children enjoyed learning about recycling at Harton. They learned that our school has a special (blue) bin for this purpose and were excited to find out which waste could be placed into it. Only clean cardboard, paper, plastics and glass please!
The School Council have been busy exploring our rubbish and they noticed that we have a lot of it! The children suggested that, as a school, we make more of an effort to reuse and recycle where we can
.
School Council members at Harton Primary School have an important job to do. They meet with teachers to discuss school events and share fantastic ideas. They are also involved in helping around the school.
We are looking for new School Council members for 2021 – 2022. You will need to be enthusiastic and happy to take part in virtual meetings (Google Meets).
For your chance to join (or to find out more), take a look at the School Council assignment within your Google Classroom.
A big thank you for all of your charitable donations for non-uniform day!
Our School Council met online recently via Google Teams, and unanimously decided that they would like the £520 that was raised to be shared out between three charities:
the Anti-Bullying Alliance, Children In Need, and Show Racism the Red Card. We’re sure your donations will be put to good use.
During one of our recent School Council meetings, we reviewed how we have interpreted the key British Values, and how things we do in school reflect them.
Mrs Ratcliffe and Mrs Pettit were interested to hear the School Council’s ideas on how to reward excellent attendance. Their suggestions were valued, and included in the list of rewards choices for classes.
Our School Council have been busy deciding where our winning banner designs could be placed around the allotment. We think they look amazing!
Our School Council have been like busy little elves making Positive Vibes Boxes for each class. They can’t wait to share them with their classes in January and explain how to use them. We promote positive mental health and wellbeing at Harton Primary.
We raised an amazing £470 from the sale of Anti-Bullying Week wristbands and rulers which will enable us to make a donation to the Anti-Bullying Alliance charity. Our Eco-warrior Day raised a fantastic £230!
Our School Council voted to support the WWF, The Woodland Trust and to buy a composter and gardening equipment for our allotment. All of our pupils took part in a vote regarding which endangered animals to sponsor.
We greatly appreciate your generosity in helping us to support our chosen charities.
