At assembly on Friday Confident Individual Certificates were given out. Congratulations to all the children who received one.
The JRSO leaders had collected in all the entries for the North Lanarkshire Road Safety Calendar Competition, they then had the very hard job of narrowing it down to winners from each class before submitting the class winners to North Lanarkshire for the final overall judging. Congratulations to those who won, but a massive well done to all who took part. Here’s hoping for a favourable result to our entries.
Wider Achievements were also showcased at assembly from Primary 3 and Primary 4. Here at Morningside we are so proud of the children’s achievements outwith school.
An exciting maths week came to an end on Friday with the children having enjoyed various activities including researching how maths is incorporated in different careers. There had also been an in-school Sumdog competition which was won by Primary 6. The day ended with the fantastic “How far do your Pennies Go” Challenge, with the children laying their pennies side by side along the length of the playground and then measuring them.

In the meantime our next Right of the Fortnight will be Article 12, the right to be listened to and taken seriously.
One of the things the UNCRC does is to make it clear that human rights apply to children and young people, just as they do to adults. This is as true in Scotland as it is anywhere else in the world.
For example, Article 12 of the UNCRC says that children and young people have the human right to have opinions and for these opinions to matter. It says that the opinions of children and young people should be considered when people make decisions about things that involve them, and they shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand on the grounds of age. It also says children and young people should be given the information they need to make good decisions. (https://www.cypcs.org.uk/rights/uncrcarticles/article-12 , 16.9.19)
For this article a great starting point would be to sit and have a discussion with an adult about examples of times where you feel that your decision really mattered. Last year at school the Pupil Council introduced us to the 7 Golden Rules for Participation. Can you think of any ways so far that you have felt that your opinion has been more respected at school, at home and in your wider community. In addition to this, can you think of any ways that we could improve on ensuring that all children and young people feel that they are being listened to and taken seriously. This is only a starting point for any posters or presentations that you would like to create. More information can be found at https://www.cypcs.org.uk/rights/uncrcarticles/article-12
If you decide to research this Right of the Fortnight and have anything you would like to present don’t forget to bring it to your class by Tuesday 1st October. The assembly where we will present and discuss this right will be Friday 4th October.
