Today the class held the election for their school council representatives.
A very democratic process was set up. All the children that wanted to stand for election put their names forward. Then they individually gave their manifesto (the reasons why they should be voted for). There was a long list of children and a wide variety of reasons they should be voted for:
• I will listen to everyone
• I will work hard to speak up in the meetings
• I will ensure the classes views are heard
• I will be a good role model
• I will represent the class well
• I have done it before so I know what to do
Well we were very impressed with how they stood up and spoke- a great skill in itself.
The children then chose one boy and one girl, secretly.
Mrs Sabir counted up the votes. She was impressed that everyone that stood for election got a vote.
There were two clear winner and showing fantastic support, the whole class applauded the winner.
Our two school councillors are…..:
Nila and Christos
Well done to them both.
The first school council meeting will be early next week and all notices about their meetings will be displayed on a noticeboard in the school.
