Children’s Rights
Article of the week

For this week’s focus on children’s rights, P6/7 were considering articles 2, 19, 37 and 28, making links to Holocaust Memorial day. The pupils discussed the meaning of prejudice and discrimination and were quite vocal in their beliefs that nobody should be judged or treated differently based on religion, beliefs, gender, race or any other characteristics. Pupils partcipated in a range of group, partnered and independent tasks to develop their understanding of the importance of this week’s articles.

P6/7 – School Values

School Values
Pupil Consultation

Primary 6/7 started the process of our pupil consultation for renewing our school values. They worked collaboratively in groups then as a whole class to rank a list of values which were most important and meaningful to them. From this list they came up with their top 4 values: kindness, honesty, equity and ambition.

Following this, they worked in groups to write down what these values meant to them then shared with the rest of the class.

 

Next, as a class the pupils co-constructed their own definitions of each value whilst being mindful of using language that pupils throughout the school would understand.

The Primary 6/7 pupils also discussed what makes Fenwick unique. It was really lovely to hear their thoughts.

At a whole school assembly, dedicated to renewing our school values, some of our P6/7 pupils shared their work along with representatives from all other classes. It was interesting to see that several of the values the P6/7 pupils had chosen were also present in the choices of other classes. Following this, along with the staff and parent consultation the overall values became very clear with them now being confirmed as, honesty, ambition, kindness and respect. Work will now be well underway to embed these across our whole school community.

RRS – Class Charter

Yesterday the pupils engaged in lots of meaningful, collaborative work. In groups, the pupils explored the UNCRC and discussed then agreed on the 5 rights they felt were most relevant to ensure a productive learning environment for primary 6/7 this year. They shared and collated each group’s ideas then, as a class, narrowed this down to 5 final articles which will be used as the basis for their class charter. The class charter will be created with all pupils and will set out the expectations within our class to ensure that we have a productive and safe learning environment.  Finally, the pupils suggested different themes for our class charter display then took a final vote agreeing upon a nature theme (watch this space for their finished result)!

Next steps:

we will start creating our nature themed display of the class charter

pupils will work collaboratively to create a set of expectations that tie in with the articles they felt were important for their classroom
