COURT VISIT - Zuzanna and Evie wrote:
'On the 26th February we ( the KS2 School Council) went on a trip to the Courts of Justice at Bournemouth Crown Courts.We met Judge Climie and asked him various questions about his experiences .Some of the most interesting things we found out were that it can be difficult to sentence someone as it can ruin their lives and we found out who sits where in the court.We also learnt that the Judge has guidelines to help him decide on a sentence.We really enjoyed this fantastic experience.'

FRIENDSHIP BENCH- March 2019
The school council decided that they would like a friendship bench for children to sit on when they are lonely or sad so that other children can see them and help them.Thanks to our mufti day and the donations we received, we have accomplished our goal and the benches are here and are now in the KS 1 and KS 2 playgrounds!!
Bournemouth County Courts Visit- 29.1.19
Oli, Lara and Alex wrote about our visit.
Today we went to the Crown and County Courts in Bournemouth and there we met Judge Forster.He showed us his wigs and the courtroom and where everybody sat.We had a fun quiz and we asked him lots of questions like, 'What is the longest sentence you have given?' It was 24 years!! We also found out why Judges wear wigs and that they are made from horse hair.We discovered that there are 12 jurors and that 10 have to agree before a decision can be made.We met a prison officer and saw where the prisoners wait before they go into see the Judge. It was really good fun and interesting and now we can't wait to tell or classes about our trip.
Congratulations to all the children who won the School Council 'welcoming all award' this half term.

Well done to all the winners of the School Council Award for Serving God and One Another:
Thank you so much to everyone who made up a box for our shoe box appeal.
So far this year, we have organised a cake sale in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. We also organise a School Council Award each half term, which is linked to our Mission Statement. We have organised lots of fundraising events in the past and continue to do so.
We chose some new furniture for the KS2 library area and have enjoyed coming up with ideas about how that space can be best used so that as many children as possible get to enjoy it.
We helped to bag up all the donations from our harvest festival. Thank you for your kind generosity.
