Proud School 
The Monarchs were runners up in the Show Racism the Red Card Awards ceremony out of 461 entries!
The pupils were also invited to perform their original which they did to huge applause. We are so proud of them!
Wonderful Work
Last month, pupils in Hafan enjoyed a writing challenge where between them, they rewrote one of Mrs Thomas’ favourite children’s books; The Day the Crayons Quit.
They enjoyed listening to the story and then demonstrated excellent visualisation skills and used their inference skills to create some funny pieces of writing! We have some very creative and humorous writers amongst us.

UNICEF RIGHTS OF THE CHILD

Article of the Week

When adults make decisions, they should think about how their decisions will affect children. All adults should do what is best for children. Governments should make sure children are protected and looked after by their parents, or by other people when this is needed. Governments should make sure that people and places responsible for looking after children are doing a good job.

Young person’s mental health toolkit from HWB.
Below is a link to the young person’s mental health toolkit from HWB, designed for 11 to 25-year-olds. Here you will find six playlists to direct you to a wide range of online resources to help you through the lockdown and beyond. In each of the playlists you’ll find self-help websites, apps, helplines, and more that are here to support your mental health and well-being.
Please remember: if you’re finding it difficult to cope, make sure you speak to someone you trust. Who this might be is different for everyone, but it might include family members or carers, a teacher, a helpline, or a doctor. How you feel is important and lots of people are here to help if you need them.
