Children discussed what democracy is and they worked as a team to record answers and ideas down.

Here are some of the questions the school council had to think about and discuss;

- Why did you want to be on your School Council?

- Who decided that you could be on it?

- What would your school be like if you didn't have a School Council?

- What sorts of things would not have happened?

- What does Gateshead Council do?

- Who makes decisions in the Council?

- How can you let Gateshead Council know what you like and do not like about what they do?

The children really enjoyed themselves and had lots of things to talk about.

The next meeting will be later in the year.
