9th April 2025

It all started like this… we were talking about the importance of communicating our opinions and how we did that in a democracy if we want to influence change. We talked about writing letters, filling in targeted questionnaires, making petitions and peacefully protesting. We hard about the potential closure of Bedwas Leisure Centre and Bedwas Library and so we set to work.

We attended an on-line drop in session to air our view- we even received an email back with further explanations of anything that couldn’t be answered.

Bext we set to work and all answered questionnaires that had been published about opposition to the closure of Bedwas Pool. We also decided that a protest might be in order! We made posters ready for the big day and invited other local school to join us. We also contacted the Community Police for permission.

The Big day was on 9th April. We walked to Bedwas pool and along with pupils from Tyn-Y-Wern and Bedwas Juniors, we protested about the closure of the pool.

We also had a petition which we asked the children in the other schools and any other passersby to sign if they supported our cause.

…and all this before lunchtime!

So sorry for the gap in our posts – there was a problem uploading images after the configuration of our systems. Hopefully no we’ll be back on track! What did you miss? Well, our big event of the year. That is to say the big event of the careers and Communication Senedd – the 2025 careers fair which was on 11th March. here are our presenters.

Hopefully you can see that we had an Influencer, well we would have, had she not been called to the Dominican Republic for work! This was a big sister of one of our Year 5 pupils. We learned about the Architecture aspect of construction, we had a dance instructor/PT visit (ex-pupil), a local farmer, a radiographer and an ex-air steward. The pupils had an enjoyable morning learning about all these different careers.
