At Llangatwg we celebrated International Teachers Day with a focus on recognising the wonderful work teacher do and particularly in the current Covid situation. Teachers are critical workers, keeping schools open so that students can continue to be educated in safe and Covid secure environments. We also recognise the part that they play in helping students to rebuild confidence and strengthen their resilience in worrying and stressful times for them and their families.

Students wrote electronic messages to their teachers to thank them for the work they do and the care and compassion that they show.
These were very well received by staff at school.
Here are some examples

"I just want to thank you for everything you have done for me. You’re such an amazing teacher. Thank you for helping me get to where I am in French.

You’re so amazing!"

Year 11 pupil to her French teacher.

" Thanks so much for helping me to settle into my new school. I was so nervous but now I am happy and confident because you have helped me to make new friends! You are so kind!"
New year 7 pupil to his form teacher.

This year's theme was so appropriate !

Here at Llangatwg, Cilffriw and Catwg we celebrated Zambia's national day by giving pupils a virtual assembly about Zambia , its culture., language and people! We even listened to the Zambian National anthem!
We set up a new classroom on or school Google classroom space where pupils can get involved in the project and keep up to date with developments. Some pupils have written letters to their peers in Zambia which will be emailed to Lushomo's Headteacher to be shared with the pupils who will send replies and answers to the questions.
Here is one example.

Hello, my name is Nina.

I am 12 years old and I have just begun year 7 in secondary school. I have 2 sisters, one older sister and one younger sister. Do you have any siblings? I live in Glynneath in the county of Neath Port Talbot which is in South Wales in the UK. Where do you live? I have not been to Zambia before but I have been to Namibia which was amazing. I was lucky enough to see animals like elephants, lions and more. Do you get those animals too?

My favourite sports are gymnastics and horse riding; I often compete in both sports. I have been horse riding since I was 6 years old and have been doing gymnastics since I was 5 years old. My favourite animal is of course a horse. What about you? I have 2 cats and 2 rabbits and loads of fish, and hopefully i'm getting a horse soon! At the moment the weather is lovely. The sun is out and the sky is bright blue but often the days are very gloomy and dull with rain. How is school? I have only been at Llangatwg for a few months and i'm just starting to get used to it. My favourite subject is either PE or maths. Do you have a favourite subject in school? I also love hanging out with my friends. We tend to go to parks and make tik toks, but because of lockdown we haven't been able to go out as often as we I would like. Through lockdown I have been keeping myself busy by doing gymnastics and walking a lot at home. I would love to hear what you were up to over the covid pandemic, and what's your school like?

Thank you Nina

The pupils learn about gardening at Lushomo School, planting and watering vegetables and fruit trees, bananas, oranges and pawpaws. In Zambia it only rains from November to March. The rest of the year solar panels at Lushomo school provide energy to pump water from an underground bore hole to garden taps. Children water the trees and vegetables.

# data[].attributes.body
Friends of Monze works with an organisation called Re-SCOPE  to establish permaculture gardens at 10 schools in Monze.  Teachers, children and the local community learn to grow vegetables and fruit, use indigenous food plants and share seeds, make compost and fermented soil enhancer called bokashi. It is important to "harvest water " using drainage ditches and swales, ditches along contour lines, thus preventing soil erosion and raising the underground water table.

A BBC article about Wales Climate Change targets .

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
By Steffan Messenger
BBC News

New targets to eliminate the gases driving climate change from Wales' economy and way of life are to become law.

The Welsh Government said "business as usual" was no longer an option.

Changing weather patterns are already "wreaking havoc" and acting now is "the right thing to do for our children and grandchildren", it says.

The move brings Wales into line with the UK push for "net zero emissions" by 2050.

However, environment minister Lesley Griffiths said she wanted to "get there sooner".

It will mean huge upheaval - from replacing hundreds of thousands of gas boilers in people's homes, to potentially finding new ways of making steel at Port Talbot without burning coal.

But the process will lead to new green jobs, and improvements to people's health while meeting international obligations to try and avoid a dangerous rise in global temperatures, the government said.

It will publish a revised action plan ahead of the major UN climate change conference - COP26 - in Glasgow later this year.

Advisers at the independent Climate Change Committee (CCC) have already warned Wales is not on track to meet existing, less stringent goals to slash emissions.

By 2018 - the latest year for which data is available - Wales had seen a 31% fall in greenhouse gas emissions compared with 1990 levels.

New legal targets will force a 63% reduction by 2030 and 89% by 2040, with Wales reaching 'net zero' - effectively a 100% cut - by 2050.

'2020s a crucial decade'

Any gases still produced then would need to be very limited and strictly managed - for example, they would need to be entirely soaked back through carbon capture technologies, trees or peatbogs.

The government said it was accepting the recommendations made by the CCC in a report to Welsh ministers in December.

It had described the 2020s as a "crucial decade" if targets were to be achieved.

The advisers said a net zero Wales was possible with action on uptake of low-carbon vehicles and boilers, while industry in south Wales needed to work together to move away from fossil fuels or install carbon capture and storage technology by the mid 2030s.

Low carbon electricity generation needed to shift from 27% now to 100% by 2035, and buildings better insulated so less power was used and wasted.

By 2030, 43,000 hectares of mixed woodland must be planted, the advisers said, increasing to 180,000 hectares by 2050 - to soak up emissions.

Action was needed at both a UK and Welsh government level, according to the CCC.

Nick Pidgeon, professor of environmental psychology at Cardiff University, said the announcement was "hugely significant".

Industry, transport, housing and agriculture were all big contributors to Welsh emissions, he said, and would require "sustained attention over the next few years".

"And it needs to start now - although we think about the 2050 target... greenhouse gas emissions stay up in the atmosphere for a long time," he said.

"So, the sooner you start on that journey to net zero the better - because you will then be putting less up over the next 20 to 30 years."

Biologist and broadcaster Lizzie Daly told BBC Radio Wales that reducing carbon emissions was "one of the biggest challenges of our time".

She said: "A lot of our land in Wales is farmland, so working with people who have that land and use it to create better environmental outcomes is crucial.

"We need to see bigger changes in our transport around cities, Cardiff and Swansea are doing lots to help minimise the impact of vehicle emissions and help with air quality.

"If we are to meet these goals we have to get a move on."

Ms Griffiths said the global climate outlook was "grave", and "as with Covid, climate change will impact us all, but the stark reality remains that our most vulnerable communities will be hit the hardest."

"Through Covid we have shown a Team Wales effort that has saved lives and protected our NHS, and I am calling on everyone to use the same spirit to build the Wales we want for our future generations."

Plaid Cymru's shadow minister, Delyth Jewell, said the party would implement a £6bn "green economic stimulus" if it gains a majority in this year's Senedd elections.

She said: "To tackle climate change we have to be ambitious. It's been two years since the Welsh Government declared a climate emergency but empty words have been followed by little action."
