Each of our children had the opportunity to attend one of our day trips to Dumfries and had an absolute ball – staff included!

This month we will be exploring Article 27 from the UNCRC. To promote the children’s understanding we will be asking the children
what do you have in your house?
what do you need in your house?
what would you like in your house?
We have already been discussing this within the centre, but it would be great to see what the children could share with you at home. Please tell us how you get on and share any pictures, markings etc for us to display proudly on our UNCRC display wall.
Article 27 (adequate standard of living)
Every child has the right to a standard of
living that is good enough to meet their
physical and social needs and support
their development. Governments must
help families who cannot afford to
provide this.

This is the start of an extensive transition programme, keep checking the blog to follow our transition journey.
As we completed our second planning cycle of 2025 today, we wanted to let you see a snippet of what the children have had the opportunity to engage in over the past 3 weeks.
