School Council Elections

 School Council Elections 

All of the children in Y1 – Y6 have visited the Kings Copse Polling Station to cast their votes for who they believe will make the best School Council representatives for this school year. 

This year we decided we wanted to make the experience of voting very life-like, so the children lined up, signed in with responsible officers, collected ballot papers, casted their votes and posted their ballot papers. The children have been really excited about this opportunity and really enjoyed their experience. 

The Y6 children were a brilliant help to the children in Y1 and Y2, helping them with the process of casting their votes. The result of the election is as follows

Year 1 Daisy and Martin 

Year 2 Faith and Andrew 

Year 3 Maddie and James 

Year 4 Charlotte and Rio 

Year 5 Izzy and Logan 

Year 6 Hazel and James 

It is a very important role, and they will begin by collecting views from their classes about things that work well in school and things we might want to make some adjustments to. 

I am very much looking forward to working together with them to make Kings Copse even better! Well done everyone who put themselves forward for election and congratulations to those of you who have been voted in!

Wildern sustainable schools forum

Members of our school council and gardening club were invited to attend the first Wildern Sustainable Schools Forum on Thursday 14 July.

The Mayor of Eastleigh started the day by showing the alternative Eastleigh Mayoral chain, which is made from  recycled metals sourced from local manufacturers. 

There were a number of activities for the pupils to experience through the morning. We began with working with Southern Water.

Then Eastleigh Recycling.....

With hard hats and hi-via jackets....

The outside with the Hampshire and I of W wild lands trust and bug hunting....

Then back inside for a chat with Kool school uniform and Fair Trade....

To finish the morning.....Bikeit! Ray!

In the afternoon the children watched a Go Green Assembly film....

We then met the Eco-school coordinator for England and celebrated Wildern's Green flag award.

And finally Kings Copse gardening club, led by Nikki Short, explained how they were set up and all the fantastic work they have done in and around school.

All the children had a great day. Thanks to Wildren for hosting, in particular Chloe and Maisie who were our chaperones for the day. Also thanks to Giles Gooding for organising the forum.
