Pupil Voice (Issue 4)
Every half term, you will be able to find out what our children think about a variety of
things in school, such as their roles and responsibilities, trips they’ve been on and work
that they are proud of, plus much more!
Our new Junior Leadership Team
Over the half term, the Junior Leadership Team have already successfully taken on lots of roles and
responsibilities in school such as:
showing visitors around school, helping sell the pre-loved clothing and helping to deliver a Worship to
the children to help them to understand what the Holy Trinity is. They are also going to be the judges
in our competition to re-name the pen area!
What do you enjoy about being in the Junior Leadership team?
‘I’ve enjoyed getting a chance to make our voices heard.’ Evie M
‘I’ve enjoyed getting the opportunities to do things which we haven’t had before.’ Toby S
‘I’ve really enjoyed wearing the ties so that we stand out in school.’ Alex R

things.’ Amelie M

working with numbers.’ Evie W
School Council Pupil Voice: Marking and Feedback
‘We find the post-it notes in our maths books really helpful as they help us to learn from our mistakes.’
‘When teachers mark our books, could they use different colours to show positives and
areas to improve.’
‘Could post-it notes be used to recap learning a few days later to help us to remember the skills?’
‘We like using highlighters to show what we have learned in the lesson.’
These comments have been discussed with the teachers and they are considering how to use the
children’s books in the future to ensure that the marking and feedback at Christ Church is used to
celebrate and enhance the learning that is taking place.
Health and Safety Officers
‘We went down and visited the kitchen staff. We found out that there are certain rules
which they have to follow about the food that they serve us: they have to give us 50%
fruit in our deserts, you’re only allowed chips one day a week and sausages one day
every 3 weeks.’
With this information in mind, we are going to create a power point to show children in
worship how to stay healthy. We are going to re-look at treat Friday to make sure that
we still have a treat but it is appropriate in size and what it might be.’
Year 2 Pupil Voice
What are you enjoying about Year 2?
‘I’m enjoying literacy because I really like writing about the Titanic.’ Ethan W
‘I like writing and reading reports.’ Beth
‘I just like writing, writing and more writing because it helps me to learn stuff.’ Sophia
