It’s been an exciting half-term at Mereside as every class has been busy electing their brand-new school council representatives. Just like a real election, each child who wanted to take part got the chance to stand up in front of their classmates and explain why they would make a great representative.

The results are now in, and each class has its very own council member ready to share ideas and help make Mereside the best school it can be. A huge well done to everyone who put themselves forward. It takes real confidence and courage to speak in front of your class.

School council will meet every Wednesday with Mr Jones.

During our latest school council meeting, we discussed improvements to the playground to make break times more enjoyable for everyone. It was raised that there many places to sit, have a chat, read a book or play some board games but there is plenty of room to run around and be active.

To help raise money for more seating, school council have organised a whole school Bake Sale that will be held in the school hall at the end of the day on the 8th April.

We are encouraging everyone to join in and bring in tasty treats that you have baked at home or bought from a shop from the 7th April, this is the ensure they are fresh! However, due to allergies in school, we can’t have baked goods that contain nuts and anything gluten free needs to be labelled.

• 8th April – End of the day.
• School hall
• Donated baked goods to be brought in on the 7th.
• 50p a cake!
