Class Charters

At the start of each new school year, each class works with their teacher to create a class charter.  They choose focused Articles from the UNCRC to explore and include in their charter, however they do investigate all rights through various lessons.  The class charter is a way of ensuring that we work together to ensure everyone is able to enjoy their rights. Here are some examples of Class Charters.

Celebrating Success –Wider Achievement

In Onthank Primary we celebrate achievement in a variety of ways. All classrooms have systems for celebrating accomplishments and pupils are encouraged to share successes from out with school at our weekly, Monday Assembly. Parents/Carers are encouraged to email photos and updates of achievements from home: eg taking part in charity events, winning medals; we love to hear about our pupils’ successes and wider achievements. Photos and information will be displayed on our Wider Achievement Wall. It is important to acknowledge that learning takes place outside the classroom, at home and in the wider community:

• helping in the home and in the community
• hobbies and interests, such as participating in a sport/hobby
• achieving an award: medal, certificate, cup
• Charity events 🙂 

  Please use the form below to record details of your child’s achievement.                                                                      https://forms.office.com/e/X3TJcLiTwq  

  If you would like to email us a photograph related to the achievement, please send to glynis.findlay@eastayrshire.org.uk and include your child’s name and class.

  

Does your child have a uniform that they have outgrown? Please drop it off into our School  Swap shop. The shop is in our school reception area or hand it to  a member of staff or send it into school. This is a great way for pupils to donate their school uniforms. There is a great selection of cardigans , jumpers, dresses on display so please come along and help yourself. Thank you.
