To build positive relationships we:
*Respect ourselves;
*Respect other children;
*Respect all adults;
*Respect our surroundings.
We restore any relationships that have been harmed.
Every day we say our school mantra which reminds us about the values that are so important to us. We also chant the words:
“I am loved, I am strong, I am important and I am special” to remind us that we can do anything!
Our teachers want to hear our views about everything in the school. We have lots of chances to share our ideas and some of our pupil groups include:
• School Senedd
• Super Ambassadors
• Calmelyons (Peer Mediators)
• Bullying Ambassadors
• Health and Safety
• International Group
• Learning Squad
• Eco Committee
• Fairtrade Steering Group
• Criw Cymraeg
• Learning Friends
• Finance Frindiau
• Playleaders
• School Attendance Squad
• Digital/E-Safety Group
We are also in charge of leading or own learning and have regular pupil voice sessions to share our ideas for the issues that are important to us and the areas that we are interested in.
At Herbert Thompson Primary School, we have a Senedd (our school parliament) and they represent pupil voice across the school. Each Senedd member is assigned to a pupil voice group and as a Senedd representative, they are responsible for informing the rest of the Senedd about ideas and issues. When we meet as a Senedd we find out what is happening across the school and make decisions. We are very proud to be representing our classes and friends.
If something is worrying us about school, we can go to our elected representatives and ask them to discuss our worries with the rest of the Senedd. We can then go to Mrs Marsh or Mrs Jones if the concerns are something we need help to solve. We then feedback to the other children in the class.
