Criw Cymraeg
The Welsh Assembly Government has announced an aim to increase the number of welsh speakers in Wales to 1 million by the year 2050.
As part of this aim they have issued a charter called 'Siarter Iaith Cymraeg' - The Welsh Language Charter. The school part of this charter is called Cymraeg Campus and our first job has been to create a 'Criw Cymraeg.' Our Criw Cymraeg is made up of two children from each junior class and their role is to promote the use of the Welsh Language in our school and the wider community.
We are currently working our way towards the Silver Award and are working hard to promote Welsh in school. We hold a Welsh assembly each week and we look out for our 'Siaradwr Yr Wythnos' - we look for staff and pupils who are using Welsh in and out of school!
Who are the Student Senedd?
Our Wood Memorial Student Senedd (school council) is made up of children from Reception through to Year 6 that meet and make important decisions. Children are elected to roles such as Head Student, Sports Captain, Office Manager, Corridor Monitor, Eco Warrior and Class Councillor. Class Council's meet every two weeks to discuss things that are important to them and each class also has a specific area of whole school focus for one term. The allows all children to play a vital part in improving life at Wood Memorial. Key Senedd elected members will bring requests forward for discussion and this approach aligns with our 'Kaizen' inspired approach of self-improvement.
How often do we meet?
We meet regularly in the staff room. Our job is to represent our classes and views of other children. The chairman gives out things for the school council to do like asking for a sum of money from the head teacher or to write a letter to somebody that has been discussed in the agenda of the meeting.
What changes have we made?
We have made changes to all of Wood Memorial School, introducing new games played on the playground and the field and even ordering new equipment for the P.E store. We have organised lots of events too.
What will we be doing in the future?
In the future we will be looking at other ways to make Woody even better. That means we have to talk to all the other children and see what ideas they have. Every year, new children join the Senedd and we begin different projects.
