Learner Input LLC team To Improve our Speaking and listening and presentation skills in Welsh and English: Making Welsh fun to learn through games. Build up confidence when speaking to a class or in assembly. We would like to work on changing voice levels. Help on how to be a good listener. School Ambassadors As School Ambassadors we will listen to what learners have to say, speak up about things that are important to the learners and tell them about their rights. We are focussing on 6 rights, some of which include: 1. All children have rights no matter what. 2. Your right to learn and go to school. 3. Your right to be the best you can be. Learner Evaluation Towards the end of the Autumn Term, as a LLC team we went around the school asking pupils what they would like to learn and improve in Language, Literacy and Communication. We made a PowerPoint of the results that included a bar graph about the most and least popular ideas for learning. Our focus was the genres that they would like to learn more. We presented to the whole school in assembly and explained the targets. We also presented this information at the Torfaen Head Teacher Conference, to Governors and at our school Peer Review. We also worked with staff on the policy poster for LLC and presented it in assembly for the pupils to see. This really helped our confidence to grow when speaking to an audience. We had to project our voices loudly and clearly so that everyone could hear us. We’ve developed our listening skills because we have listened to each other's ideas in a group and to other pupils in classes. Our next step is to go back around the classes and ask the pupils if they have learnt more based on their targets and take pictures for evidence.

LA Strategies: National Priorities: To improve Health & wellbeing for children and young adults Target: 1. To Improve wellbeing of pupils. 2. To improve wellbeing of pupils and staff through ACE awareness and trauma training and Mindfulness. Learner Input: Sparkle Spies, Ambassadors, LLC To have happy, healthy, confident children: Increasing the amount of PE and physical activities, including the daily mile. Increase Mindfulness in different classes during the day. Learners in classes decides the climb and sparkle curriculum. Eat and drink healthily and encourage others in the school. School Ambassadors 1. All children have rights no matter what. 2. You have the right to life and to grow up to be healthy. 3. You have the right to meet up with friends and to join clubs and groups. 4. You should not be harmed and should be looked after and kept safe. 5. Your right to learn and go to school. 6. Your right to be the best you can be. Page 16 of 35
Learner Evaluation In assembly we spoke about the daily mile and we have encouraged classes to do it daily. After lunch we do mindfulness in some classes to focus and meditate, this helps us concentrate on our lessons for the afternoon. In classes we write down our ideas for the topics each term to decide the climb and sparkle for lessons, we then create our lessons using them. As School Ambassadors we have worked with the School Council to encourage the pupils in FP and KS2 classes to eat a piece of fruit or vegetable every day at tuck time. In Spring term, we designed charts for each class to record how many pupils brought pieces of fruit or vegetables each day. Before half term we collected the charts, we added the ticks and calculated the percentages. We then went around the classes and told them their percentages, so they knew what they were to improve upon. Next, we had a meeting with Mrs Roche and told her about the results of the charts from tuck time and we asked if we could have a healthy day for the winning classes.

We have used the new climbing wall as part of our PE sessions, and we are taking part in forest school and gardening sessions. Some classes have set up outdoor learning zones such as role play and independent art areas. We had a disco to raise money for breakfast club. We ordered some different games and craft activities for after breakfast, this has made children happier and learning skills such as taking in turns and learning rules. We have worked on our team building skills, strength, athletics and concentration through the new equipment at playtime. The school council had a stall at the Christmas Fayre and are going to use the money raised for the winners of the healthy tuck chart.
