Achievements
Playground Equipment
Each Pupil Council member asked their class what
equipment they wanted in their playground boxes.
The council compared the lists to find out which
equipment was most needed. We purchased tennis
balls.

junior and infant playgrounds in support of the poppy
appeal.

sold: cakes, books, toys, sweets and we held a guess the
teddy's name competition. We raised £319.74 for the

children came dressed in their Christmas jumpers. We
raised £328.96 for Save The Children.
Trip to Rochdale Town Hall
The School Council visited Rochdale Town Hall to see
how a real Council is run.
Easter egg competition
The pupils of Elm Wood took part in the egg
competition and designed their own Easter eggs. One
of the governors Mr. Barber and Barbara Lloyd from
Springhill Hospice came in to judge the entries.
Winners received a bag of Easter goodies!
Easter egg raffle
We held an Easter egg raffle, it was 20p for one ticket or
50p for a strip. Winners received an Easter egg as a prize.
Million Pennies Challenge
We are currently raising money for Springhill Hospice
by participating in the Million Pennies Challenge.
Pupils are donating any spare 1ps’ they can find at
home. The class that raises the most money will win a
prize. Next week we are having stalls on the infant
and junior playgrounds.
We will be selling: Cakes,
Books (in good condition)
and playing cards.
Feedback on The Marking Policy
• The School Council met to discuss the Marking
Policy. The children feel that the feedback and
the next steps given by teachers are beneficial
in that it helps them to progress. The pupils
can see what they are good at and where they
need to improve.
