The school council are looking at resources to purchase for their Calm / Quiet Zone.
The school council could not find any suitable signs for the outside area.
Archie suggested the children make their own signs or contacting a factory, who could make them,
The school council thought this would be too expensive. The signs need to be resilient and
weather-proof. Mr Owen suggested looking at some websites for ideas www.theschoolsignshop.co.uk and www.charliefoxsigns.co.uk
The children liked some of the signs pictured. Mr Owen said he will speak to Mr Jewitt to see if it is
possible to order them. Mr Owen told the children he will let them know the outcome in the
next school council meeting. Meeting closed at 10.00 am.
