Student Voice

27 May Student Voice

Recently, in community team session we had a meeting with Mark Blundell, a speaker from Onside. We discussed the plans for London Onside in Parsloes Park and talked about how the team could get involved. We also talked about how it reduces crime and their new logo which people voted for. We also discussed about involving the wider school community in the process.  We look forward to working with Onside in the future.

This is news from community team members: Molly McCarthy, Morgan Smith and Alice Solomon.

On Monday the Free the Children student action team visited Broadford Primary school in Harold Hill to talk about the foodbank collection and our ‘We are Silent’ March.

We had to do an assembly in front of the whole school and teachers which was nerve racking. We told them how successful our Student Voice is and how great the Silent March was and showed them our film which they all enjoyed.  After the assembly we split up and went into classrooms to do a two hour workshop, getting the students to think about issues they feel strongly about.  We played warm up games and the students got to ask us questions.  We each had a Year 5 or Year 6 class and it was fun to work with their teachers too.  The event was really successful and they have asked if they could join us this year for our march.  We gained so much from this experience such as confidence in public speaking and organising 32 KS2 students so they had a good experience themselves.
