Pupil Voice
Pupil Voice Committee - Term 4
Keeping Our Children Safe.
Our children are the heart of our school and we think it is important to listen to their views on everything we do.
During this term we will be meeting with the children to discuss 'How we keep our children safe'. Every week we will split up into our Pupil Voice teams, which are children from Year 1 to Year 6, to discuss the main areas.
How do we keep you safe in school?
How do we keep you safe online?
Who do you go to if you feel unsafe?
Who are the Learning Mentors?
How do we look after your wellbeing?
Our children said...

How can we enrich our curriculum?
How can we make Oldmixon even better?
Our children are the heart of our school and we think it is important to listen to their views on everything we do.
On Wednesday morning we held Pupil Voice and children from Year 2 - 6 split off into small groups to discuss extra-curricular activities.
The children talked about school clubs, what we offer and whether they enjoy the types of clubs that we offer.
Our children said...
- We would like to have more variety offered in After School Clubs.
- Each term we provide clubs which are supported by Forever Sports and our dedicated team. In Term 4 we will be introducing Ultimate Frisbee, Netball, Orienteering, Mad Science and Art Attack.
- We would like to do more gardening in school.
- Listening to this we will be providing the opportunity for children to attend Gardening Club in Terms 5 and 6.
- Could we have more clubs that are linked to our learning like Spelling, Maths and Drama Club?
- We will be running a Maths Games and Drama Club during Terms 5 and 6.
- We would like to do lots more cooking and learn skills for when we are older.
- Cooking is already part of the curriculum but we also feel preparation and cooking skills are important. Staring in Term 4 groups of Year 5 and 6 children will be cooking every week. They will all have the opportunity to make: Bread, vegetable soup, flapjack, quiche and cupcakes. Once these children have finished the next group will have the opportunity.
