This morning P1 – 3 have been earning more about the right to an education. We watched a very powerful video clip about two girls born on the same day and in the same town but had very different lives. Pausing the clip at significant times, the children were able to discuss what was happening in both lives and were able to identify the contrasts so early on. Although education was one stark difference, clothing, food, water and resources were also briefly discussed. We will follow on with this next week as we had a special appearance from Glee Club to rehearse for their competition tonight.

What a powerful and moving film Miss M. I pray that this impacted the children in similar ways to me.
I was moved by the reality that this is not just fiction but a true and stark account of peoples lives all over the world.
What valuable learning this is for children as it encourages empathy and hopefully a shared responsibility for others.
