Action 

KS2 lining up reward

Arran - Class that has most in a week get a reward. Trim Trail?

Trim Trail time as a Friday prize. - Mr Gardner will put this to the teachers.

School Council Assemblies - Mrs Elliott would like the School Council to start doing an assembly every few weeks. This time she’d like us to think about “words” and how words can empower or lessen other people.

Dress up as words - sort the words into good words and bad words - another person reacting to the words - good words versus bad words - good words win.

Good things to say: 

Are you okay? You’re good enough. You’re amazing! Thank you.

Bad things to say: 

Deal with it. You’re rubbish. You’re horrible. Who cares?
