Joseph could we get new DT equipment?

Hamish would like a slide in the classroom. 

Arthur would like a car track.

Joseph and Amber  to speak to Mrs Elliott and Mrs Jenkinson about doing more DT. The PTA can most likely fund the tools etc

Mr Gardner to ask Mrs Bradbury about having a slide in the classroom but feels this may not be very safe.

PTA can look into renting a car track and organise an event.

Safeguarding - strangers - do we know what to do?

Archie - someone that you don’t know - they could kidnap you.
