This newsletter is going to have stories from other schools and from people that work with schools. There will be stories about pupil’s voice and rights as well as news about keeping healthy and well.
This newsletter will be sent to all schools to share with school councils or other groups at least once every term.
If you would like to send us any stories to include in the future or if you have any ideas, please can you send them to: [email protected]
Super Ambassadors Scheme Super Ambassadors Scheme Super Ambassadors Scheme Super Ambassadors Scheme
The Super Ambassadors is an exciting scheme from the Children’s Commissioner for Wales that promotes children’s
rights in primary schools.
Schools elect two pupils as Super Ambassadors at the beginning of every year. They have three jobs to do:
• Tell other pupils in their school about the Children’s Commissioner
• Make sure other pupils know about children’s rights
• Do special missions for the Commissioner
If you think this is something that your school could do, ask your head teacher to look at this website.

We are ‘Super Ambassadors’ at Ysgol Pen Barras, and as in October as part of our work for the Children’s Commissioner for Wales we started a competition called ‘Bullying Sam’.
We gave two weeks to the children that wanted to enter to create a story or cartoon about Sam being bullied. The purpose of this was to show children that we have to put a STOP to bullying.
After two weeks we collected the cartoons and stories. We were very pleased with 40 stories and 2 cartoons.
We awarded prizes to 9 children that competed! We hope that we have inspired other children for the future of the Ambassadors.
In the summer term we are hoping to hold more activities for the well-being of the children.

This term we have decided to improve areas that pupils think are 'unsafe zones’. We have given out maps of the school to all pupils and asked them to shade areas of the school in different colours.
Green = safe.
Orange = OK.
Red = unsafe.
We then met to look at the information and see which areas most pupils feel 'unsafe' in whilst in school. At our next meeting we will evaluate this information and come up with an action plan on how we can make these areas better.

The year 5 pupils of Ysgol Caer Drewyn were allowed to invite an adult guest to lunch at school. The pupils were joined by a mixture of parents and grandparents who were able to sit with us and enjoy their lunch. Our local councillor and school governor, Huw Jones, also came to dine with us.
Everyone enjoyed a healthy meal of lasagne with a choice of salad. This was followed by a dessert of a tasty fruit salad. Everyone had a good time and valued the time together.
Bridget Griffiths, a grandparent, said, “It was great to spend some valuable time with my granddaughter and enjoy a lovely meal. I hope they do it again.”
We would like to thank everyone who came and especially Auntie Clarissa for cooking the meal.

The Eco Club have been very busy making goods out of materials that can be recycled – hearts from old jigsaws, snowmen from bottle tops, and boxes
from toilet roll centres.
We sold them at the Christmas Fair and we made a profit of £19, which will be
spent by our Eco Council this term.

Poem from Ysgol Carrog Poem from Ysgol Carrog Poem from Ysgol Carrog Poem from Ysgol Carrog
Some pupils from Ysgol Carrog wanted to share their poem about being vegetarian.
Very healthy options. Enough vegetables for us to eat, we do not need meat. Get out the carrots to feed the rabbit. Not so we can eat it, just to treat it. Every animal is valued. The animals are very nice creatures, we do not eat them. Animals are precious to the world. Ready to treat them, not to eat them. It is awesome being a vegetarian. Animals are good to be near…but not to be near them when they are on the table. No animals are eaten by us; not even fish.
