Brookfield`s Well - being School Council.
Brookfield`s Well-being School Council is all about being part of a team. By being involved in this team we can ensure that our children feel valued, listened to and supported. It gives the children a sense of ownership knowing that they can help to make a difference by having a say in what happens in school.

Today, the three school councils convened to discuss and plan the allotment's future layout for the upcoming year. We inspected the existing setup outdoors and then returned to The Hive to sketch our desired design. Crucially, we deliberated on seasonal planting to ensure that none of the vegetables perish during the summer holidays when school is not in session.
We have a lot to consider so also discussed ways on helping us on how to improve the allotment over the next coming year.
- Crop Rotation: Plan a rotation system to maintain soil health and reduce pest and disease buildup.
- Companion Planting: Use companion planting techniques to enhance growth and protect crops.
- Watering System: Implement an efficient irrigation system to ensure consistent watering, especially during holidays.
- Raised Beds: We are already using raised beds for better drainage and easier maintenance.
- Seasonal Planning: Develop a detailed seasonal planting calendar to optimize growth and harvest times.
- Community Involvement: Engage more students and staff in the planning and maintenance process.

Today when we met up in group we discussed 'Random Acts Of Kindness Day' which was celebrated on 17.02.2025 we decided that we would like to write about this and for it to be in the next School Council newsletter. So we worked swiftly and we are all really pleased with the result.
We would like to encourage everyone to participate no matter how big or small and to spread a random act of kindness whether it be to a family member, a teacher or a friend in school.
We came up with lots of ways that we do this ourselves and we wanted to share this with everyone.
Please see the next newsletter for our full article. We hope that you can join us and spread some kindness every day!

Today we met up with the Environment Council in 'The Hive' and we discussed the Buddy Bus Stop further as both school councils had similar ideas so we decided to work together. The children had to decide whether they wanted to have a bench, a swing sign or an actual bus stop sign. They debated which one would be best and for what reason. The decision was numerous!

The children were surprised with everything that they had achieved and told me that they felt proud of their work and that the school had listened to their ideas and felt heard.

Unfortunately we had a few of our school council missing today, so we decided to have a catch up and to finish off some unfinished work that we had started a few meetings ago. We also discussed the word art that we had designed and finalised it. The children were delighted with this years design.

Today we met in `The Hive` and started our project for designing new postcards. The children sat and discussed what they would like to do and started work on their new designs.
I asked the children to complete this at home so that we would be able to submit them to Mr South by the end of the week which they did. The children are excited to learn if their design will be printed on a postcard!

Today the children were introduced to our new meeting area, `The Hive`, two children from our school council spoke with Mr South a few weeks ago and helped him to name our new space. The name was chosen as we have some new octagon shaped tables in there and it reminded the children of a bee hive. It is a central place where we will hold meetings in school. We discussed further plans that will be going head with the room. We came together with the Curriculum School council for the introduction and then we carried on with our own project.
Mr South spoke to the children about designing new postcards so we will continue with that project once we have finished our current one.

The Well-being Council have worked incredibly hard this year and have managed to achieve so much. They were so excited when their proposal went through and the outside area was named after their joint decision of naming it the `Chill Out Zone` . The words calm, positive and relaxed reflect what the area means to the children. There are also three bright orange parasols which have been set up around the picnic benches in this area which the children are using when they are spending time with their friends relaxing at breaktimes.

This term we have been focusing our ideas around the Outdoor Classroom area, the Well- being Council realise the importance of being active and the well-being of others and we want to make it a place where others feel that it is somewhere that they can go and relax, so over the next few meetings we will be looking further into how we can improve on this area and make it an environment where children can relax and enjoy whilst it is being used during break and lunchtimes.
