All pupils returned to school in September full of enthusiasm and ready to learn! We have had a lovely half term getting to know the children. We have had a busy first half term in school! Here is a round up of the latest news from the term so far.

Anti-Bullying week

Tue 25 Oct 2022 M Jones

Anti-Bullying week 2022 will take place from Monday 14th November to Friday 18th November with this years theme 'Reach out'. The week will kick off with Odd Socks Day on Monday 14th November, where adults and children wear odd socks to celebrate what makes us all unique.

The theme of Reach Out came about as teachers and children wanted a theme that empowered them to do something positive to counter the harm and hurt that bullying causes. Anti-Bullying Week will remind everyone whether it’s in school, at home, in the community or online, let’s reach out and show each other the support we need.

Class teachers will send out appointment times in the next few days. These will be booked on a first come, first served basis. Appointments are limited to 10 minutes.

Face to face meetings will be held in the classrooms. For these meetings, please do not arrive more than five minutes before your allocated appointment time. This will keep crowds to a minimum. Teams invites will be sent closer to the time for online appointments.

We look forward to seeing you all after half term.

Rocio and her team also want to hear your ambitions for Wales – the things you want to change to make Wales a better place for children to grow up.
Your views and experiences will shape their work over the next three years.

Survey for parents/carers:
https://www.childcomwales.org.uk/our-work/ambitions-for-wales/survey-for-parents-and-carers/

The survey for you as a parent or carer is for you to share your views and experiences with us.
We ask about:
How you feel about different aspects of your children’s lives
What you think would make children’s lives better

About the Children’s Commissioner
Rocio Cifuentes is the Children’s Commissioner for Wales.
Our office promotes and protects children’s rights in Wales. All children under the age of 18 have rights under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Our office is independent, and not a part of the Welsh Government.
We work for every child in Wales who is:
Up to the age of 18
Up to the age of 21 if they’ve been in care, or 25 if they’ve been in care and are still in education

What we’ll do with your answers
Your answers will help us to understand children’s lives and experiences.
This will help us to tell the Welsh Government what they need to do to make children’s lives better.
Next year, we’ll publish a work plan based on our survey responses. This will show the work we’ll do as an office to influence positive changes for children.
