Children explored the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and considered how the ability to access health systems is linked to a child’s right to the best possible health, Article 24, freedom of expression and to freedom from discrimination.
It was great fun taking part in rounders using batting and catching skills and communication within a team.
we explored Global goal 8: Decent work and Economic Growth. The aim was to understand where and how clothes were made. pupils had to allocate £24 between the cotton grower, cotton buyer, weaver, factory owner and shop owner. This led to a discussion about equality and equity- UNCRC rights 24, 2 and 6.
Today we were learning about the respiratory system. We measured our breathing rate before, during and after exercise. We collated the results in a table and analysed them making links with our hypothesis at the start of the lesson. we explored the names of the parts of the respiratory system and stated the facts we had learnt.
As part of our commitment to Global Goal 11: target 11.6- to reduce environmental impact of cities including waste management; our Eco Committee’s targets and improving the environment around as as part of the John Muir Trust Award we went out into the local area to litter pick and filled up lots of rubbish bags.
As part of Global Goal 13: Climate Action we went around the school to check the lights and boards were all off between 2 and 3pm to save energy as part of our support for Earth Hour 2023.
Primary 6/7 used their own energy to play circle time and team games during this time.
Today we explored Global Goal 6: Clean water and sanitation linked to UNCRC right 6, 24 and 27. After watching the Global Goals cartoon ‘Chakra and Mighty Girl’ the pupils created their own cartoon strip showing the importance of having clean water and sanitation.
Primary 6/7 explored Global Goal 13, specifically target 13.3 and made links to Earth Hour. The class created posters to encourage the rest of the school to turn off all lights, sockets and Promethean boards this Friday between 2pm and 3pm. This year the theme for Earth Hour is the ‘Biggest Hour for Earth’ so the pupils discussed the importance of everybody contributing towards Global Goal 13 through small actions to make a huge difference in creating a sustainable, long lasting Earth. They then created posters to inform others in the school about Earth Hour and encourage them to take part.
We would love if you could take the time to watch the clip attached below to learn a little about Earth Hour and we hope that it encourages you to take action.

Today we began clearing some of the planters to get them ready for new planting this spring.
P6/7 have been busy designing a community garden. Lots of great ideas!
