School council and Eco council did an amazing job with the toy and book sale in aid of Children in Need. We were grateful for the toys, books, jigsaws, boxed games, dressing up toys and soft toys which we received.
Thank you to everyone for your donations and for those of you bought toys and made donations to a very well worth cause. We raised £259.72.
During the last academic year, the Year 5 and 6 school council members attended a meeting of the Framlingham Business Association at the Crown in Framlingham. They shared the inspiration behind the Climate for Justice artwork that had been displayed in the library the previous year. At that event, the students were invited to attend the following network meeting, which took place this past Wednesday at The Technology Centre.
Today, some members of our School Council were invited to attend the Framlingham Business Association's networking meeting at The Crown. They had the exciting opportunity to share with the attendees the inspiration behind the artwork they created earlier in the academic year, centered around the theme of 'Climate for Justice.' The students from Key Stage 2 wrote persuasive letters to support this initiative, and the artwork is soon to be displayed in the library, where it will be showcased for the coming weeks. In addition, a virtual copy of the artwork will be featured in the local magazine.
We are incredibly grateful to the Framlingham Business Association for hosting us and providing a platform for our students to voice their ideas and concerns about our planet’s future.

Our School Council & Eco Council have been buzzing around the hall this afternoon setting up ready for our Children In Need Toy & Book Sale.
Doors open soon!
Last Friday, the School and Eco Councils hosted their annual second hand book sale.
Over the course of the week, children donated a number of books which the councils set out for the sale. Amazingly, the event raised £149.48 which will be donated to 'Book Aid'.
Thank you to all those who donated books, helped at the event and supported the sale so generously.
Today we had two visitors from Quorn, Lizzy and Bobby. They came to demonstrate the importance of a healthy diet and how this can work in each of our diets. The school council absolutely loved tasting and learning about the different food groups and how food can play a big part of the environment as well as our body health. Obviously, Quorn is a vegetarian alternative protein to meat and the children learned about this.
The children from the School Council got involved in making Quorn sausage rolls and also helped with the making of the Quorn chicken chilli noodles. They both tasted delicious and shared these with the staff of the school.
The children were an asset to the school and came up with many interesting discussion points and talked about their own diet and food. SRH should be very proud of them, well done!
Last week, the School and Eco- Councils got together to discuss the upcoming book sale on Friday after school.
The children created posters and they are placed in various positions around school.
Please support this event by donating books THIS WEEK and coming along to see what wonderful books there are.
All money raised will go to charity.
Taste Testers for the Chinese menu
Today, our fabulous Head Cook, Mrs. Aldred, baked a
wonderful dessert to trial in preparation for next week’s Chinese New Year
inspired lunch. School Council were enlisted to act as taste testers- here are
some of their thoughts on the banana and toffee cakes:
“Lovely texture!”
“This is really tasty- I wouldn’t change a thing”
“It’s a thumbs- up from me!”
“This would be amazing with custard”
“I don’t normally like banana but this is really good!”
The School and Eco Council have enjoyed setting up the Hall for the sale this afternoon! Thank you for all the wonderful donations.
Thank you to the children on the School Council and Eco Council who set up the hall ready for the big book sale after school. They did a sterling job sorting all the books into non-fiction, pre-school, Disney, fiction, fairy tales, poetry, chapter books, comics, box sets and superhero books. Thank you to everyone who kindly donated books towards the sale too as it was greatly appreciated.
It was lovely to see some of the school council able to
help at the sale too and they all really enjoyed it.
Mia said “I think this has been a success”.
Harriet thought “It was good fun to help out.”
Charlie commented that “I like this – it’s getting busy”
and was happy to help others by handing bags out for all their books.
The money raised will be donated to MacMillan Cancer
Research – watch out in the newsletter for the final amount.
Well done school council and eco council.
School Council and Eco Council helped organise all the donations of toys which the children brought in last Friday on 'Children in Need' day. They were sorted onto different tables - soft toys, cars/ vehicles, jigsaws, boxed games, construction, dressing up and miscellaneous. There was a real buzz in the hall.
Many children and their families made their way around the tables. All donations were passed to staff who kindly came to help and support at the sale.
Thank you to all parents and children for supporting the sale; to School Council and Eco Council for helping set up; to staff who were able to help set up, man the sale and help tidy up afterwards.
Children in Need have benefitted hugely from this team effort. We made a phenomenal £483.42
The School Council were delighted to receive a response to their letter to the Queen. This was shared with the whole school in Monday's assembly.
Fundraising got underway this week for the 'Runathon' which will take place on the Wednesday during the Jubilee week. School Council decided that instead of having a sponsored event or a "bring a £1 on the day" event, they chose to ask the children to save 1p, 2p and 5p coins.
This week saw the first contributions being brought in and thank you to all the children and families who have already donated this week. Class LH had a staggering start and are well underway with their fund-raising.
School council look forward to seeing how much money can be raised from the coin collection. Please start bringing donations into your class from now on until the Runathon ready for the big count and the big run during Jubilee week.
EACH is the charity which School Council have chosen to support for this event.
Thank you in advance for all your kind donations.
School Council
It was so lovely to have our first school council meeting last week.
We played a few ice-breaker games so that we could all get to know each other across the two key stages. We then talked about our roles and the expectations.
We are all looking forward to working together over the next year.
We are delighted that each of the classes has now appointed their class representatives for the school council. Unfortunately, due to current restrictions, we are unable to meet as a group but that has not stopped school council getting involved in school life.
We welcome the following children who will represent their classes
on to the school council:-
VWe – Caroline and Euan VWh -
Beatrice and Edward
AJ – James and Beatrix MV – Lola and George
KVJA – Evie and Lennie SBRH – Lizzy and Fynley
LC – Rory and Oliver LH – Lucy and Charlie
KB – Maddie and Lucas JT – Callum and Amelia
KM – Rubi and Gregory CH - Paisley and Gus
Their first role this year was to help make a wreath for the Remembrance Day service. The wreath will be held by representatives of the school council at our Remembrance Day service and it will then be displayed in school as we remember those who have died for us in previous wars. Every school councillor has been involved in creating this special wreath.
