News from the <strong>Panaga</strong> Student Council and Parent Teacher Panel<br />
Debbie Johnson in the Hot Seat<br />
The Rampayoh Student<br />
Council had the pleasure of<br />
welcoming Parent Teacher<br />
Panel (PTP) Chair, Debbie<br />
Johnson, to one of their<br />
weekly meetings.<br />
At the meeting Debbie told the<br />
children all about herself and<br />
her motivation to become PTP<br />
Chair. She also explained the<br />
role of the PTP in school life<br />
and how she hoped the Student<br />
Councils on both sites<br />
could work in partnership with<br />
each other throughout the<br />
year. An early indication of the<br />
partnership starting to work<br />
was the Coin Drop. The second<br />
half of the meeting was<br />
dedicated to finalising the arrangements<br />
for the Coin Drop<br />
on Rampayoh.<br />
Debbie and the Rampayoh Student<br />
Council working together.<br />
The Rampayoh Student Council<br />
would like to thank Debbie<br />
Johnson for taking the time to<br />
attend one of their meetings to<br />
give her advice and answer all<br />
of their questions.<br />

Recently the Teraja Student<br />
Council coordinated an appeal<br />
for items of clothing,<br />
food and toys for the local<br />
Penan tribe.<br />
The councilors helped to collect<br />
the items from their classmates.<br />
They stored the items<br />
behind the stage in the hall.<br />
Once all the items had been<br />
received they then bagged<br />
them up to be transported.<br />
A special helper in a red suit<br />
with a large round stomach<br />
and a jolly laugh will help move<br />
the donations onto the Penan<br />
tribe.<br />

IP6G Class Assembly - How to ‘Keep Fit’<br />
The children of Teraja were<br />
encouraged to ‘Keep Fit’ by<br />
the pupils of IP6G at their<br />
class assembly. The year<br />
group has been working on<br />
the ‘Fit for Life’ topic in IPC.<br />
Teraja Student Council - helping the<br />
Penan Community this festive season<br />
Yoga anyone?<br />
4<br />
A highlight of P6’s Fit for Life<br />
IPC topic this term was when<br />
Miss Sam led the children in a<br />
yoga session under the tent.<br />
The sketch consisted of a journey<br />
through the body and the<br />
clear message that we have to<br />
take care of ourselves by having<br />
a healthy diet and taking<br />
regular exercise.<br />
Pupils did well to learn their<br />
script and song words but<br />
came up with their own ideas<br />
for dance routines and props.<br />
PowerPoint slides produced by<br />
the class also gave useful<br />
health advice. The music featured<br />
helped get the healthy<br />
message across. The songs<br />
included an amended version<br />
of ‘Eat It’ by Weird Al Yankovic<br />
and the Buddy Holly classic,<br />
‘Heartbeat’, amongst others.<br />
The assembly had a serious<br />
message but was delivered<br />
with a smile. The children were<br />
fully committed and enjoyed<br />
presenting their assembly to<br />
the other classes. ‘Keep Fit!’<br />

Right: Yoga - not as easy as it<br />
looks! Story by Miss Liz<br />
Some of the moves the children<br />
learnt were warrior and tree pose.<br />
The children commented on how<br />
much they had enjoyed the session<br />
but also that yoga wasn’t as easy as<br />
they thought it would be!
