Week 4
Tell us what you have been doing this week
This week we have been deciding which year group will be in charge of which product or service.
We have chosen to link our event to wellbeing as it is important and it is something we want to really embed at school and at home.
We are using the five ways of wellbeing.
We chose a winner from our logo design competition
What did you learn this week?
We learnt that we need to make sure we cater for all the children at school so that they can be a part of it so we thought about our nursery children.
What did you find difficult this week?
It was hard to pick a winner for the logo competition and we didn't always agree but we were respectful of other children's opinions.
Week 5
Tell us what you have been doing this week
We asked Mrs Corfield to start adding our event to social media to help generate some interest.
We have started to collect sticks, lots of sticks so we can make a start after half term.
WE have decided to make worry sticks, seed packets for wild flowers, woodland creatures and clay hedgehogs.
We want to raise as much money as possible so we are going to also sell sweetie bags and host a raffle
What did you learn this week?
We learnt that we need to ask for help at times and because we are a nursery and infant school we will need to ask our grown ups to help us make our products.
What did you find difficult this week?
We found it tricky to decide which year group should make each item but we were able to compromise.
We had a lot of soggy sticks as the weather was wet so we set about finding places to dry them!
Collecting sticks! Lots of sticks!!

For pupils to answer:
In one sentence please tell us what bright stars has meant to you?
It was fun!
For teachers to answer:
Can you tell us the impact this programme has had on your school?
This programme has helped the children to use our well embedded learning powers and put them to good use! For example collaboration, resilience and reflecting. The programme allowed us to explore these traits in other ways which was a great way to demonstrate our pupil voice. The engagement from parents and local businesses was fantastic and supports to school in having a positive impact and engagement within the community. We were also pleased to help a local charity and being able to follow through the children's idea for this was powerful; showing that they can make a difference!
