Rights are on the wall in every classroom. Now our Rights Respecting Ambassadors want them in every lesson too.

The ambassadors met on Wednesday 11 November. The group speaks for learners across Bryncoch, Theodore Road and Velindre.

Every job from last term is done. The committee has its own Google Classroom. Each class displays a UNCRC poster. Every learner knows our school is working towards the Rights Respecting Schools Gold award.

Progress shows across the school. Some classes have written class charters. Others marked Black History Month in October.

Gold sets a higher bar.

Learners need to know when a lesson teaches them about their rights. The ambassadors found some classes have not covered their Article of the term yet. They asked teachers to name the right in more lessons.

Universal Children’s Day falls on Thursday 20 November. Every class will join a lesson on children’s rights and put up a poster made for the day. Ambassadors will deliver the posters to their classrooms by Friday 13 November. Each class now has a UNCRC Dojo point too, so staff reward learners who show rights respecting behaviour.

Learners have bigger plans for later in the year, including a fun run with hot chocolate afterwards.

Diolch, Rights Respecting Ambassadors. You make sure every voice counts.
