Article 38: Governments must do all they can to protect and care for children affected by war. Governments must not allow children under the age of 15 to take part in war or join the armed forces!
Here is Emma from P6-7 explaining what this right is:

A huge well done to everyone who took part in Mrs McMurdo’s Wider Achievement Challenge of Dress to Express last week. We loved seeing photos and videos of you all dressed to reflect how you feel and your explanations were super!
Apologies that these photos were missed from our video, but they are too good not to share! Thank you Mary and Miss Mason for your fabulous entries!
Welcome to day two of our Big Schools Bird Watch! What a beautiful clear day for bird watching yesterday, what did you spot? I saw lots of lovely birds in our garden including robins, blue tits, great tits and sparrows!
Please complete the form to tell me what you saw.
I hope you can find 10 minutes in your day today to have a little look for the birds around you. It’s a wonderful relaxing activity to take part in and you can do it on your own or with someone, even your whole household!
Our bird of the day is brought to you by P2/3.
Today it is the Blue Tit!
The first activity idea I have for you today is a story. It is very cold outside this week so snuggle up and enjoy a wee story with someone in your house. They are about our bird of the day, a very common bird we see where we live, a blue tit.
There are three stories to choose from using the links below. The third is an audio story.

Once you’ve listened to a story I’d love to see any art you could do to show me your favourite part. Maybe you could draw a picture or make the characters using play dough. Please send them to your teacher or to me at corrine.mason@eastayrshire.org.uk
Here are a couple of online bird games for you to try…

Rights Respecting Schools: Dog Fouling Campaign!
As a whole school, we are going to fight against the smelly dog poo that gets left on the streets of New Cumnock. As the week progresses, I will release a video explaining in more detail as to what the campaign is. However, the first thing we need to do is to choose a poster that is going to go alongside the campaign. Below are a couple of super examples that other communities have used.. but we want to have a bit of New Cumnock to ours so be as creative as you possibly can! Your teacher will send your poster to Mr McClure and he will then put the best posters to a vote to decide which one we will use! Good luck!
This week at NCPS, we are looking at two very important rights. The breakdown of both of the rights are above in the pictures. Our focus this week is going to be Safer Internet Day. I have attached a PowerPoint below that provides a couple of super activities that I would love for you to complete.
If you complete any of the activities please send pictures to: john.mcclure@eastayrshire.org.uk
