Hello Everybody,

We are ambassadors of the RRS committee and we would like to share a message about children’s rights.  The Right of the Month is the right to be heard – article 12 of the UNCRC.   The right to be heard is that everyone can say, and have their own opinions in a group discussion.  According to article 12, children have the right to express their views in all matters affecting them.  We want to make sure that everyone in Westfield Primary School has their rights.  Every month we will choose a different right.  We will look closely at the right and children will share their thoughts on it with everyone.  The right of the month will be shared with classes at assemblies and will be displayed on our RRS Wall.  We have talked about the difficulties with this right and we think that some people struggle to express themselves and some people struggle to listen.  What we would like everyone to do is to be kind to those who struggle to listen and let children be heard.
