Throughout the school year we will be focusing on Rights Respecting Behaviour.  In term 1,  the class worked together to create their class charter display.  Through this learning they discussed what is a right and what their rights are.  With this information the class came up with how they can respect their rights in school.  Every child in the class agreed with the charter and demonstrated this with their ‘hands in’.  They all drew around their hand and signed them.

This is how they will respect their rights in school:

“We respect our rights by giving our own opinion and listening to others’ opinions. Our opinion should be taken seriously but it’s alright if other’s think differently. We also choose our own friends to spend time with.  Being kind and respectful to others is important, especially when joining new groups.  We appreciate that we are all different and have the right to be ourselves.  We will embrace everyone’s unique qualities.
