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.”
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!
