As part of both schools ongoing work with The Children’s Parliament – Both Fallon (Kirkcolm) and Ewan (Leswalt) were selected to represent children’s voices and views at the Scottish Government base at Atlantic Quay in Glasgow. Fallon and Ewan and have been doing ongoing work with The Children’s Human Right Defenders. This has meant many video calls and a whole lot of information for them both to absorb and contribute to before presenting their hard work. This culminated in a Residential Trip last week, escorted up by Mrs Baillie herself. They stayed near Edinburgh, and went from the Sunday morning until Tuesday evening. There were 7 children representing the whole of Scotland at this residential – and two of them were ours! Fallon and Ewan did us very proud – they were impeccably behaved, confident and articulate individuals.
Ewan had customised his glasses with some pipe cleaners, left over from his artwork. He even managed to persuade some of the government to do the same – see if you can spot this in the photographs!
Here is Fallon’s account of their days away –
