April 2023 – Reading Schools Award Silver
We are delighted to have been awarded our Silver Reading Schools Award. This is all down to our amazing Literacy Pupil Group and the hard work they have put in to redeveloping our library, ordering new book titles, setting up the library and promoting reading within our school!
January 2023
The Pupil Group met today in the School Library and we spotted the things we liked in it.
We love the new rug and the colourful cushions.
It is good to sit on the sofa and read.
The library is cool.
The children spent time looking at Authors Live and have asked teachers to watch some clips with the whole class.
You can watch these at home too with the following link:

We have had a busy month.
Firstly, we have begin our daily Reading Buddies. Pupils share stories with each other every day after lunch.
Next, Room 14 made their book recommendations at Assembly. We look forward to hearing recommendations from other classes over the weeks to come.
Room 18 visited the Town Library on Monday-each week classes will be walking to the Town House to meet Elaine, the children’s librarian.
Finally, the annual Book Fair has arrived. Many children have already had a look through the shelves and are excited about reading novels that interest them.
See the attached note of our latest Pupil Voice Meeting.

Welcome to our Animal Ambassadors page!
We held our first meeting of the year today and everyone is really excited to be part of this group.
We talked about the different things we could do at home, at school and in the wider community to help animals. We had some great ideas, e.g. Making a bug hotel, growing plants to support the bees, not littering and reusing items to create artwork. It was lovely to see the children thinking about the smallest of our creatures, the insects, as these are usually forgotten in favour of the cuter and cuddlier ones. Well done, team! We will be exploring these and more ideas over the coming months…
Please find below the minutes of our first meeting:
Date: 31.8.22
Points from previous meeting:
This is our first meeting of the year!
Main discussion points from today:
Today we all introduced ourselves to other members of our group. We begin to
think about some things that we can do in our school to help animals, particularly
in our woods area. We came up with these ideas:
• Create bird feeders in the Winter to hang on the trees in the woods
• Bring speakers into the school to talk to everyone about animals
• Make bug hotels in the woods
• Create fact files about animals that live in the woods and hang these up in
the woods so that people can learn about them.
Focus Article:
Article 12 – you have the right to have your opinion listened to and taken seriously.
Action Points:
• Contact people to see if they can come to our school to teach us about
animals.
• Continue to think of other ways we can help animals before the next meeting.

Well done to everyone at Chatelherault who worked so hard on our journey to the Gold Rights Respecting Schools award. A special thank you to our amazing Pupil Voice Group who have helped our school find ways to ensure children can learn about and enjoy their rights!
WE ARE A RIGHTS RESPECTING SCHOOL!
This year, our school has participated in the 2021/22 OutRight Campaign. The focus of the campaign has been children and young People’s mental health. This was something we felt very strongly about participating in, particularly after the difficult lockdowns we had all experienced.
The children have enjoyed learning about the importance of their mental wellbeing, how it relates to their rights and what we can do to support mental wellbeing in school. The children have been empowered to take actions and we have created a whole school mental health declaration! This is now on display for everyone to see and be reminded of the things we are doing and can do to help each other.
