Our JRSOs have worked hard over the last few weeks. Here is their Road Safety campaign video.
Safe – Article 3 – Adult decisions can affect us all.
Responsible – Article 12 – We will share our opinions with adults who live and access the area in and around our school.
As pat of our Outright campaign the children participated in a Know Your Rights Quiz. Children worked in groups discussing possible answers to questions linked to children’s rights.
Active : Article 42 – We know about our right to know our rights. We like to share our knowledge of rights and help other to learn about them too.
Today the P.A.G took to the streets to promote safe driving around our school. They brought their amazing banner and used a speed gun to check that drivers were obeying the speed limit. Most drivers were very careful and slowed down near our school.
Active : Article 12 We have the right to give an opinion, and for adults to listen and take it seriously.
Today at assembly we launched the UNICEF Outright campaign. It tells the story of Paddington bear’s reasons for leaving Peru and travelling to the UK. We compared his circumstances to that faced by child refugees across the world. We got into our house campfires and discussed issues that can impact on child refugees and what can we do to ensure child refugees can fully access their rights.
Responsible : Article 10 – (Family reunification): We are learning that Governments must respond quickly and sympathetically if a child or their parents apply to live together in the same country. If a child’s family members live in different countries the child has the right to visit and keep in contact with them.
Nurture : Article 22 (Refugee children): We are learning if a child is seeking refuge or has refugee status, governments must provide them with appropriate protection and assistance to help them enjoy all the rights in the Convention. Governments must help refugee children who are separated from their parents to be reunited with them.
Mr Green and some Primary Sevens attended NLC Children’s Rights Conference. The children presented a workshop focusing on how rights are promoted at our school; sharing our journey from our introduction to rights, onwards to level 1, our development to level two and beyond. The Primary 7s did a fabulous job and everyone was commenting on what a professional and informative presentation it was (They were even given extra biscuits!) Everyone at the school is very proud.
Active : Article 42 – We know about our right to know what our rights are! We helped Adults know about these rights and how to help other children learn about them, too.
Pupils were split into Primary 2 – 4 and Primary 5 – 7. They answered a variety of road safety questions, earning points for their houses.
Our Pupil Action Group designed a poster for our community initiative and the JRSOs handed out safer cycle route maps to keep people safe.
Included : Article 13 -You have the right to find out things and share what you think with others, by talking, drawing, writing or in any other way.
