Fairtrade stall at the Christmas Fayre

Leave a comment

On Sunday 27th of November it was the Williamston Primary School Christmas fayre and the Fairtrade Pupil Leadership Group set up a stall selling; floating dragonflies, leather and fabric friendship bracelets and sparkly sequin pens. We were successful in selling most of the items but some were not sold. We are going to be selling them on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at break this week in Miss Brown’s classroom. The cost of all items are £1 other than the sparkly pens which cost £2.
In addition to this, some members of the group went round the fayre asking parents their opinion on the school having Fairtrade school uniform items. Thank you to all parents who took part in this survey and for supporting Fairtrade at our fayre.

Thank you,

The Fairtrade Pupil Leadership Group

An update from the Fairtrade group

Leave a comment

Hello we are the Fairtrade group and we have been busy working on some ideas of how we can promote Fairtrade Fortnight at Williamston. We have already decided on group roles and expectations. Our Chairperson is Kiera, our link person is Craig, our Treasurer is Rowan and our Secretary is Shay. We have also created pledges which helped us to think about what commitments we will make to our group and school. We have also designed badges for our group. Our link person has been working with the P3,2 and 1 group to set them tasks and challenges. We have a floor book that we write in each week to share our ideas and learning.

Parent Council meeting

Leave a comment

Our Head Boy, Deputy Head Boy, Head Girl and Deputy Head girl went to a Parent Council meeting on Monday 7th December. We spoke about what children are learning about in our classes, what children are enjoying learning about and why, what children would like to do more of in class and how can the Parent Council help with learning. We got lots of different responses from all pupils involved. Most pupils did not realise that we have a Parent Council so we would like to inform the pupils that we have one and think about how they can help us. Some classes in the upper school would like to do more ICT, maths games and P.E and in the lower school they would like to do more P.E, reading, writing and more topics in their subjects. We created and showed a video at the meeting saying what the children think and this was really enjoyed by all at the Parent Council.
