We have been exploring the world around us and how natural disasters occur. We experimenting with different materials. We made our own volcano, lava jar and tornado in a bottle. We hope you enjoy our experiments as much as we enjoyed making them.
We would like to remind our pupils, parents/carers that the Microsoft Teams pages for each class should be used solely for engaging in homework and for educational matters. If you require advice or support with any other matter, please contact the school office and make an appointment with the class teacher or a member of the management team.
NLC have been working with a team of young people over the last few months to develop and create a campaign that highlights what children’s rights are and what we can all do to help recognise, respect, support and promote them. This is why the young people called the campaign Make it Right – so people can support children’s rights and do what they can to make it right for them.
North Lanarkshire Youth Council carried out research among young people last year which said that although 96% of young people knew they had rights, only 38% said they knew what the UNCRC was or what the rights actually were.
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) sets out the fundamental rights for children. It’s a complete statement of children’s rights and outlines the civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights that all children are entitled to.
These rights can be categorised as:
survival rights
protection rights
developmental rights
participation rights
The UNCRC is the most widely ratified treaty in the world and its 54 articles cover all aspects of a child’s life and take into account the best interests of children.
All of the rights are:
universal
inalienable
indivisible
interdependent
We need to make sure that everyone knows what children’s rights are and that we recognise, respect, support and promote them.
