Welcome to our first Rights Respecting School online assembly. I have set possible activities and discussion points for children to engage with (these learning tasks are optional). There will also be a song link provided at the end.
Article of the week.
Can you guess what the article of the week will be by looking at these pictures?
It’s Article 24 – Health Care – ensures that every child has the right to the best possible health.
Governments must provide good quality health care, clean water, nutritious food, and a clean environment and education on health and well-being so that children can stay healthy.
Richer countries must help poorer countries achieve this.
There are many things children need to be healthy. These include:- – Enough Sleep – at least 8 hours a night.
– Nutritious Food – including plenty of fruit and vegetables.
– Water – at least one litre a day.
– Good hygiene – keeping clean, particularly your hands and make sure you do not touch your face!
– Daily Exercise.
– A clean environment.
– Feeling safe, secure and respected.
– Health care – To see a doctor or a nurse when you need to.
