'Year 6 Committee'

This has proved to be one of the most successful and motivated groups of year 6 pupils. Throughout their time 'in office' they have constantly been looking for ways to engage the interest of the other children in school and raise money.

Since September, Robert, James, Sam, Amy, Susie and Jessica (the year 6 committee) have:

Organised and arranged a Junior Fancy Dress Activity and Games session in the hall. This was a huge success, especially as it was billed as a rounders match right up until the morning of the event. The weather was atrocious, so they swiftly changed their plans and everyone (including the teachers) went home happy. A Pop Trivia Competition for infants and juniors. A Christmas Card Competition. A Trivia Quiz Competition. Two Cake Sales, including a Valentine themed one in February. In each case, a sell-out. Sold drinks and sweets at the Infant and Junior Discos. This also involves 'bagging up' the sweets beforehand, organising rotas for the night, and the all-important clearing away at the end.

During and after every event they have received praise from the PTA, staff and children of the school. They have been responsible for the publicity posters, letters and fliers home to children and parents, informing the staff of their activities and buying competition prizes. They have been very lucky to have the invaluable support of Mrs Bertinshaw, who has helped and encouraged them.

The money raised is always directed back at the children. This year, the committee have funded the homework planners/diaries for the junior children and are hoping to buy two TV/Video combis (one for the infants and one for the juniors).

Well done Year 6 Committee!!
