At Miriam Lord we believe that all pupils should have lots of opportunities to make a positive contribution to the school. This can mean simply by working hard, setting high expectations of their own behaviour and acting as a role model for others. However, we also create specific opportunities for pupils to contribute through different Pupil Teams. The details and job descriptions of our Pupil Teams are shown below, anyone who is interested in any of these roles should contact Mr Harrison.
Our Food Team had a fantastic time visiting Darley Street Market! The children explored the impressive range of fresh food on offer before taking part in a hands‑on session with the Food Cookery School, where they made their own delicious vegetarian stir‑fry. It was a brilliant morning full of learning and fun.
Back at school, we planted the basil, coriander and chive seeds we received during our visit. We can’t wait to watch them grow and use our home‑grown herbs in meals later in the year!
Our Food Team have recently carried our a survey of what pupils are bringing in their lunchboxes. We want all of pupils to eat as healthily as they can and to make positive food choices. This survey tells us that we have some work to do. We will be soon be sharing healthy eating messages through WeDuc and Miriam Lord FM. So keep your ears and eyes open for our healthy messages.
Today, our Food Team and School Councillor met with James from Mellors Catering Services to discuss their thoughts and ideas for how to improve school lunches. It was great to hear our pupils sharing ideas and making a contribution to school life.
It was great to see our Eco-Team getting stuck in today on the first attempt at clearing out The Sanctuary. As you can see from the photos, our garden area has become quite overgrown and needs a lot of work. Who better that our Eco-Team who have rolled up their sleeves, quite literally, and started weeding and pulling out dead plants. Great to see such collaboration in action.
