Maths Ambassadors
An eager mathematician is selected from each class in key stage 1 and 2 to meet together on a weekly basis to help impact and direct the development of maths. Their role is to help promote an enthusiasm for maths and to organise fun opportunities to engage in mathematical-linked activities. The maths ambassadors at Duston Eldean are required to display specific responsibilities:
- Showcase passion and enthusiasm for mathematics.
- Convey information to their respective classes on a weekly basis during reflection time.
- Collaborate with teachers to share innovative ideas, promoting mathematical initiatives across the school.
- Advocate the importance of mathematics and its practical relevance in our daily lives.
English Ambassadors
At Duston Eldean, we inspire our children to become passionate about reading and writing. Our group of ambassadors spread the love of literacy across our school by helping to manage how national events like ‘World Book Day’ and reading and writing competitions will be organised in our school. Through their knowledge of current award-winning books, they share reading for pleasure opportunities with their peers to disseminate their enthusiasm. They are passionate to recognise the importance of key events in our school like the launch of our new reading spine and share with their peers how much they value the reading for pleasure culture in our school. The ambassadors also encourage their love of writing across our school by recognising how hard children work to improve their writing skills by organising the display of children’s writing with pride in our main school corridor. This is celebrated on a termly basis.
Health & Safety Ambassadors
Health and Safety Ambassadors are children, from Year 6, who have been selected by their class teachers for showing an interest in working to keep our school safe. These pupils meet on a weekly basis to discuss ideas and plan for events. They are a dedicated team who help to disseminate important information to the whole school community.
Health and Safety Ambassadors help to keep our school safe by:
- checking to make sure that health and safety procedures are being followed.
- planning and monitoring fire drills and lockdown drills.
- giving out key health and safety messages.
- completing health and safety walks to check for issues.
Digital Leaders
Digital Leaders are responsible for the promotion and understanding of the ONLINE safety policy within our school. Children will conduct interviews with their peers to see if they understand what each element of ONLINE means and how we can help them have safer and happier experiences online. We use this information to write assemblies, devise quizzes/games or come up with other creative ways to help the children of our school. We meet in Terms 2, 3 and 5 each year.
