We had a very busy lunchtime today in Penygawsi....we held a whole school ballot to name the 'old' woodland area (formerly known by the unsavoury title 'The Bog') and the newly planted woodland area on the hill.
In previous weeks each class were asked to suggest and vote for names for the two areas and put these forward. Today's vote was about choosing a name for each area from the list suggested by all the classes. The Forest Rangers manned the Polling Station and encouraged all the children and school staff to vote. They also had the difficult task of counting all the votes up too! The results will be formerly announced in tomorrows assembly and from then on the areas will be renamed.
190 people voted (nursery and Reception held a class vote)
10 voting papers were spoiled.
The results are:
The Old Woodland area will be renamed: The Enchanted Wood (36 votes)
The New Woodland area will be renamed: Tree Tops (42 votes)
Thank you to everyone who joined in. Enjoy the photographs :0)
