April 2023 – Reading Schools Award Silver

We are delighted to have been awarded our Silver Reading Schools Award. This is all down to our amazing Literacy Pupil Group and the hard work they have put in to redeveloping our library, ordering new book titles, setting up the library and promoting reading within our school!

January 2023

The Pupil Group met today in the School Library and we spotted the things we liked in it.

We love the new rug and the colourful cushions.

It is good to sit on the sofa and read.

The library is cool.

The children spent time looking at Authors Live and have asked teachers to watch some clips with the whole class.

You can watch these at home too with the following link:

We have had a busy month.

Firstly, we have begin our daily Reading Buddies. Pupils share stories with each other every day after lunch.

Next, Room 14 made their book recommendations at Assembly. We look forward to hearing recommendations from other classes over the weeks to come.

Room 18 visited the Town Library on Monday-each week classes will be walking to the Town House to meet Elaine, the children’s librarian.

Finally, the annual Book Fair has arrived. Many children have already had a look through the shelves and are excited about reading novels that interest them.

See the attached note of our latest Pupil Voice Meeting.

Have a look at our notes from our first meeting today:

Main discussion points :

  • We looked at our rights and thought about what rights lend themselves to How Good is OUR School (HGIOS). Discussed Article 12 in detail. All agree children have the right to an opinion.
  • What is our Pupil Group?
    –  Looking to see why our school is good. All children have the right to an opinion and our pupil group is a safe space to discuss and make a change. It focuses on the whole school.
  • We looked at the How Good is OUR School booklet which shows quality indicators for us to evaluate as a group.
  • We looked at the main themes of HGIOURS:

-Relationships, Learning & Teaching, School Building (What could we put in to make it even better), Health & Wellbeing, Successes and Achievements.

The group voted to focus on the Health & Wellbeing theme first this term. Decided it was important for everyone in the school to have a healthy body and mind.

Focus Article:

Article 12: Respect for children’s’ views. Children have the right to give their opinions freely on issues that affect them.
