Think Tank 1

What if door handles were made of chocolate?

Try to think of 1 positive answer, 1 negative answer and 1 interesting answer.

E.g.
Positive - you could have a nibble if you were hungry.
Negative - the chocolate would melt and you may get locked in.
Interesting - which chocolate would make the best door handle - milk, dark or white?

Think Tank

School council will be posting 'What If' style questions onto their blog and their notice board in school. These questions are designed to promote creative thinking. You may post your answers on the blog or the notice board. It's time to get thinking!

School Council Minutes 1/3/11

Present: Milly, Abi, Ritesh, Will, Chloe, Jack, Jamie, Anne, Adam, Chloe, Shane and Mrs Wales

Absent: Molly

1)                School Council agreed to move the Name the Teddy fund raiser to the Summer Term so we could concentrate on Red Nose Day.

2)               We finalised the Anti Racism Charter and Mrs Wales is going to photocopy 1 per class to be displayed in each classroom and to be agreed and signed by all the children.


3)               We came up with some fund raising ideas for Red Nose Day (Do something funny for money):
·        Fancy Dress – bring a donation and wear fancy dress (the funnier the better). Prizes for best girl and boy in each class to be decided by class teachers and presented in the afternoon at the Comedy Show.
·        Bun / biscuit sale – class teachers to bring in biscuits/buns for their own class and sell just before break.
·        Comedy Show – Friday pm - similar style to the talent show where auditions are held in class and 2 or 3 acts are chosen to represent each class in the Comedy Show. Ideas for acts – telling jokes, impressions, clown act, magic, juggling…

Red Nose Day Friday 18th March

The School Council have agreed that we should support Red Nose Day at Ashfield. As the theme is 'Do something funny for money' we are going to hold a fancy dress competition, the funnier the outfit the better, and the children can bring in a contribution towards Comic Relief. We also decided that each class would hold a Bun Sale and we would end the day with a Comedy Show. So please remember on Friday 18th March to bring your comedy acts and cash for Comic Relief!
