Do You Know Your Rights?
As a part of our hard work on Rights Respecting Schools we have now covered many of the United Nation ‘rights’ in school. We are currently working towards achieving our silver award! Why not share your learning at home or ask your parents to discuss some of the rights we have yet to learn?
Attached below is a copy of the ‘Child Friendly Rights’ – hi-lighted in yellow are the rights we have covered in school. Now let’s try to learn EVERY right!
P5a are Global Citizens!
As a part of Global Citizenship week Base 3 have been studying Fairtrade!
We know that Fairtrade means giving producers a fair price for their hard work. We have been working in school to bring attention to Fairtrade in Gargieston!
“Article 27: Every child has the right to a standard of living that is good enough to meet their physical, social and mental needs. Governments must help families who cannot afford to provide this.”
P5 Learn About our Right of the Month!
We have been studying our Article of the Month through our work on Rights Respecting Schools ;
“Article 7 (Registration, name, nationality, care): All children have the right to a legally registered name, officially recognised by the government”.
In class we discussed the importance of our names and how it is personal to each and every individual. Unfortunately, we know that in many places in the world some children are not given this right and we spoke about how this might make us feel.
Together, we spoke about the stories of how we got our names and designed a name badge that was personal to us.
The children have been set the task to ask at home if there was a particular reason they were given their name. We are also going to try and find out when our birth’s were officially registered.
I’m excited to see what you discover!

P5 Visit Robert Burns Birthplace Museum
P5 Burns Trip to Alloway Ayr.
What a great day had by all at the Robert Burns Birthplace museum. Thank you to all the parents and helpers who came along and made the day possible.
Right of the Month!
Our new right of the month is ◊Article 7◊ and what a very important one it is!
“You have the right to a name, and this should be officially recognised by the Government. You have the right to a nationality (to belong to a country).”
We will be learning a lot this coming month about the importance of Article 7.
Why not share your learning with someone at home?
