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:
