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!

ASSEMBLY 27/10/17
The theme of today’s assembly was KINDNESS. This relates to all our work in school last term recapping our school values of Happiness, Respect, Motivation and Friendship. Last term we also recapped the meaning of SHANARRI which reminds us that every child in our school should feel Safe, Healthy, Active, Nurtured, Achieving, Responsible, Respected and Included. Thinking about KINDNESS to one another both inside and outside school is part of the work we are doing towards our Rights Respecting School status and our understanding of the Articles of the UNCRC – The United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child. The Articles of the UNCRC which most relate to showing KINDNESS to each other are:- Articles 12, 14, 22, 24 ,28, 29, 30.
At the bottom of this post is a list of the Articles and a copy of the Powerpoint which was shown at assembly today. Can you please look at these at home, think about these Articles and discuss them and the questions in the Powerpoint at home with your family?

MacMillan Coffee Morning
Last Friday P7 held a MacMillan coffee morning. We sold: cakes, home baking and tea and coffee. We would like to thank everyone who attended the coffee morning. It was much appreciated. We made a cracking amount of £368.65. So once again thank you to every one who came along. Whilst the coffee morning was taking place, some of the adults popped into the book fair. After the coffee morning had ended some of the pupils could get the chance to buy some of the left over home baking for only 20p. They were delicious.
