Calderbank pupils joined children from our partnership school, Tollbrae at a showcase event at the Shawlands hotel. They enjoyed meeting children from Rights Respecting Schools across North and South Lanarkshire who are also working hard to develop Global Citizenship.
As I explore the rights to which I and others are entitled, I am able to exercise these rights appropriately and accept the responsibilities that go with them. I show respect for the rights of others. HWB 0-09a, 1-09a, 2-09a
Two of our pupils will be attending a showcase event at the Shawlands Hotel. They will be sharing their experiences with children across Lanarkshire and telling them all about our development of the ‘Rights Respecting School’ culture in Calderbank primary.
Opportunities to carry out different activities and roles in a variety of settings have enabled me to identify my achievements, skills and areas for development. This will help me to prepare for the next stage in my life and learning. HWB 2-19a
Here is an idea of some of the children’s roles and the activities they have been involved in this term.
We are all busy creating designs for the ‘Right to Play’ mural in our playground. The Eco Committee will help to judge the winning design which will be used to produce our first school mural. Some of our Eco Committee have been writing emails and letters to ask our pupils, parents and community for help with our school grounds developments.
Representing my class, school and/or wider community encourages my self-worth and confidence and allows me to contribute to and participate in society. HWB 0-12a, 1-12a, 2-12a
Through contributing my views, time and talents, I play a part in bringing about positive change in my school and wider community. HWB 0-13a, 1-13a, 2-13a
We are delighted that a local builder has generously donated the paint and brushes for our mural.We also reminded everyone that it’s important that they bring in old clothes and shoes, as we need everyone to help us paint the mural.
We wrote to pupils and parents to ask if they would help us collect the 2000 2 litre bottles we need to complete our Eco greenhouse.
