·         Budget – Miss Barker asked School Council members to start to think about possible things we could buy with the budget left from last year’s committee. (Approx. £80) Last Year’s School council messages and suggestions were shared.   

Suggestions were playtime equipment / trucks to go in the proposed Sandpit area on the KS1 playground.  Miss Barker will find out when the Sandpit will be ready.

·         Miss Barker thanked Keira and Harvey for producing a letter to send to the PA requesting £100 to start their School Council Budget for the year. The PA has kindly agreed to give the School Council £100. This will enable the School Council to purchase things to sell and make a profit on to help raise funds for our school.   As a School Council it was suggested that we focus on a key item to purchase at the end of the year as decided by the pupils at Rydon.
