This is called the Foundation Stage Profile. • At Bourne we have both books in the classroom and electronic learning journeys that you will all have access to online with protected passwords. You will be able to track your child’s progress and enjoy many photos of their experiences in school.

  23. SCHOOL COUNCIL The school council is made up of two children from each class, who are elected by their peers. It is their job to put forward the views of their class. They meet every half term with Mrs Slater to discuss school issues and help make decisions about fundraising and purchasing equipment. Last year, the school council were responsible for choosing the new playground markings and they helped to interview Mrs Edwards. They also contributed to our marking and feedback scheme and chose which books to purchase for class libraries.
