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!

New books…

Primary 7 recently received a generous Amazon voucher from Kilmarnock District History Group as a thank you for the class performance at one of their meetings. The children put on an extra showing of their WW2 local history play to all the group members one night in Kilmarnock College where they meet.

The class decided that it would be very appropriate to buy local history books for the upper school to use. We would like to thank the group once again for their kind gesture.

P2C Global Citizenship

P2C have been particularly engaged in their learning around issues relating to the use od nonbiodegradable plastics as part of Global Citizenship this week. Have a look at the movie we made declaring what we are going to do to make a difference to our world. Excuse the long faces but we aren’t happy about this current issue.

We still have lots more ideas to help tackle the problem. Watch this space.

★ Star of the Week ★

Well done to all of this weeks Star of the Week winners for being a kind friend 😀

P3A learn about Global Citizenship

It is Global Citizenship week and in Primary 3A we have been discussing what  a global citizen is.  Below are our ideas at the start of this mini topic.

We then went on to discuss the difference between needs and wants and here are the definitions we came up with.

Needs – These are things that keep you safe and protect you.  We need them to survive.

Wants – These keep us happy and entertained but we can live without them.

Then we took part in an activity where we had 12 items but could only choose 9 of these to take with us to a new planet.  We created a ‘Diamond 9’ to organise our items from most important to least important.  Here’s what our groups came up with.

All of the groups chose water, food and family as their top three things.

Look out for another post to see how our understanding of a Global Citizen has developed.

 

 

 

 

P2C Global Citizenship – Miss McColl

This week is Global Citizenship week, P2C have been finding out about sustainable development and the devastating effects of single use plastic on the world.  They have many great ideas about how we can refuse to use these plastics.  Look out for all they are going to do about it on the blog and around the school.  I am one very proud teacher!

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!
