Less than two weeks to go until Anti-Bullying Week (16-20 November), and our free resources are now live!

This year’s theme is Break the Silence. Many children don’t tell anyone about bullying. They worry they won’t be believed, that it will make things worse, or they just don’t have the words.

What’s inside:
- Primary schools: a new story, Teek Turtle finds her voice, read by Jill Halfpenny, plus activities, an assembly and five book picks from Coram Beanstalk
- Secondary schools: activities, an assembly and a short film from our ambassador Olga Thompson, who walked back to her old school 39 years on
- Parents and carers: how to spot the signs, talk to your child’s school and help with friendships, plus our Parent Advice Line

We’re also running a free webinar for parents, carers and anyone supporting a young person on Thursday 19 November, 16:00-17:30, with Dr Nathalie Noret (University of York) and Samantha Hill (University College Birmingham).

Everything’s free, so pick one thing. Even one conversation can help a child feel less alone.

Mae gan rhai plant fyd o straeon ond does gan rai ddim o gwbl.

Yn anffodus, mae llai na hanner o blant Cymru yn cael rhywun i ddarllen gyda nhw bob dydd.

Ond rydym yn gwybod fod rhoi llyfr yn llaw plentyn yn agor drysau i ddychymyg, hyder a phosibiliadau.

Gyda'n gilydd gallwn ni helpu mwy o blant ddarganfod pleserau darllen. 📚⭐

Some children have a world of stories, but some have none at all.

Sadly, fewer than half of children in Wales are read to every day.

But we know that putting books into children’s hands opens the doors to imagination, confidence and possibility.

Together we can help more children experience the joy of reading. 📖⭐

Mae hwn yn edrych yn ddifyr iawn

🍂 6 syniad chwarae yn yr awyr agored i'w trio heddiw!

Does dim angen teganau ffansi na chyllideb fawr i gael hwyl yn yr awyr agored, dim ond ychydig o amser ac ychydig o awyr iach. O helfeydd natur i neidio mewn pyllau dŵr, dyma rai ffyrdd syml o fynd allan gyda'ch rhai bach yr wythnos hon.

Rydyn ni'n credu bod chwarae yn yr awyr agored yn rhan mor bwysig o ddatblygiad y blynyddoedd cynnar, mae'n adeiladu hyder, chwilfrydedd a chysylltiad rhwng rhieni a phlant.

Pa un fyddwch chi'n ei drio gyntaf? 💜

Consequences help children understand choices, learn from mistakes, and build their confidence and self-esteem.

Mae canlyniadau yn helpu plant i ddeall dewisiadau, dysgu o gamgymeriadau, ac adeiladu eu hyder a’u hunan-barch.

For more tips on using consequences, go to the link in the comments.
