Gold success

UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools

Keills Primary Gold Success!

Our UNICEF GOLD Rights Respecting certificate and banner has finally arrived! We are all thrilled to be able to display our success both inside and outside our school. We were informed that we had achieved Gold status at the end of last session, which was a fantastic achievement and we were all so proud. But, it is even better now that we can visually share this with everyone. This award has been the culmination of many years work – learning about, promoting and embedding children’s rights. We would like to thank former pupils, parents and our school community who have also contributed towards our Rights Respecting journey to Gold!.

‘We are very proud of ourselves because we had to do lots of work to get the Gold Award. We are delighted that the banner has come so we can display it at the front of the school. Our Gold certificate is huge, and we are looking forward to adding it to our Rights Respecting Wall. We are very pleased with our Rights Respecting Gold Award.’  P.2-4

We are proud that we received our Gold Rights Respecting award banner this week. To achieve it we had to do an interview with the whole school. We proved that we know lots about children’s rights and we are worthy of this award. In 2028 we are aiming to keep our Gold award (Gold Reaccreditation),and are confident that we will manage it! P.5/6

Remember to look out for our new GOLD Banner as you pass by the school.

Keills Primary receives Rights Respecting School – Silver Award!

On the 24th May, Keills Primary School underwent a Rights Respecting Schools Accreditation for the Silver Award. After almost 3 hours of the Argyll and Bute assessor, Christine Walker, asking questions to staff, parents and children about the teaching, learning and experiences within the school, she finally announced that we had indeed met the standard for UNICEF UK’s Rights Respecting School Award at Silver: Rights Aware. We were all delighted with this recognition – a massive achievement for our small school!

This Friday we will be taking part in a youth Global Climate Strike to learn more about how to protect our planet, now and in the future.

We will have an ‘offline’ and power free Friday in class (no change to school lunches) and also aim to reduce paper waste and use as well.

Finlaggan and Islay Museum 28.6.21

This week were were lucky to interview with staff from Islay Museum and Finlaggan. They shared lots of fascinating information with us about old Islay including artifacts which have been excavated locally.

 

They were also kind enough to share some older pictures of our local community so we could see how our villages have changed over the years.

The first image also shows what life was like inside an old croft in the past.

 

A big thank you to the staff for taking the time to speak to us!
