We have received news of two separate safeguarding concerns regarding social media that are present in the wider community.

The first concern involves a private Facebook group operating in South Wales called Small Butterfly. This group discusses sensitive issues with users such as suicide and offers information and ways to ‘prepare for the special day’ that are very worrying.

The second concern involves TikTok, and the rumours that  24^th April is a national sexual assault day. You may have seen coverage of this in the news.

 

Both Facebook and TikTok are age restricted and no primary aged pupils should be using them.

 

Please talk to your children about what they are looking at online and ensure that they are safe and keep away these and other dangerous situations online.

We appreciate everyone keeping our school and community safe and able to offer increased face to face learning by

• Arriving within their allocated time slots
• Wearing face masks (unless medically exempt)
• Following social distancing rules
• Not socialising within or around the school breaking government lockdown rules

Good evening everyone!

The ongoing pandemic has allowed us to offer our school concert in a new way this year. We wanted to do something in a safe way to celebrate the festive season in a different way to normal. Each class has been learning about a different country and their traditions then made a video of their work to share.

We truly hope that by next Christmas the three wise men are able to travel again, the angels can come and visit and the only masks worn will be part of the costumes on stage! But for now we are pleased to present “Christmas around the world”

Watch our Christmas celebrations on YouTube

(This is a playlist and when one video ends it will move to the next)

 

We hope you enjoy! 

We wish you all a safe, happy, and healthy Christmas and New Year from all the staff and pupils of Ysgol Bryn Teg! 

We have recently been working with the Child Commissioner of Wales. The values, ethos and practices within the school have been identified as good practice and shared across Wales in the following reports.
