Objectives Autumn term 2024:

• To develop our school learning powers- mascots

• Assemblies to teach the children about the learning powers 

• Start Young Bronze Sports Ambassadors scheme

• To oversee Children In Need fundraising ​

• Organise Christmas class colour hamper raffle.​

• Raise money for the Dolpa Orphanage on Christmas Jumper Day

We met several times over the Autumn term to streamline the learning powers and choose those that we thought were the most important. After deciding on our learning powers we then had to design a mascot for them. We loved a superhero theme to link in with the word POWER. However, we needed to change our Attendance Hero mascots so people did not get confused. Mrs Martin held a competition for a new attendance mascot and we were able to finalise our superhero designs with logos!

We have had a series of assemblies explaining the learning power of perseverance. We will be introducing the other powers in the coming weeks.

We have also been busy organising and promoting our Children in Need fundraising in which we raised £367. We also held a Christmas Jumper day that raised £70 for our friends at the Dolpa Orphange in Nepal.

Meet our new Bronze Young Sports Ambassadors

These y5 & 6 children volunteered to lead this initiative in September then attended training in the LC2 later in the term. They also lead our Autumn term fundraising initiative - 'Beatball' in partnership with Nicky from Football First Wales. All children, from Nursery to Year 6, had a fun beatball session (football skills to music) then a follow up fundraising day where the children took part in a 'Penalty Shot' competition. The radar recorded the speed of their shots and every class celebrated with a certificate for everyone and 2 class winners. We raised over £2000!! What an achievement by the Sports Ambassadors!
