Inverkip Primary School and Nursery class recently held a Children’s Rights day. The Rights Respecting School steering group pupils gave a presentation on Children’s Rights to the whole school, and invited myself as Children’s Rights Officer along to give a presentation on Children’s Rights and some of the work I am involved in.
The entire school and nursery then spent the day learning about Children’s Rights. Inverkip Primary have kindly shared the lesson plans.

Secure and companionable relationships result from staff spending time with children, and developing affectionate relationships that enable children to feel secure, loved and appreciated. Knowledgeable and effective staff in Meadowview Nursery give children their anchored attention as they play alongside them, observe and learn from them.
