Today at assembly we looked at the final design for the Woodlands Muga pitch. We looked at what we liked and asked questions about it.

Article 3 – All adults should do what is best for you. When
adults make decisions, they should think about
how their decisions will affect children.

Article 12 – You have the right to give your opinion, and for
adults to listen and take it seriously.

Article 24 – You have the right to the best health care possible, safe water to drink, nutritious food, a clean and safe environment, and information to help you stay well.

At today’s assembly we looked at the impact of child labour and discussed why the 12th June is an important day – the World Day Against Child Labour. We learned that they are 160 million children worldwide who are engaged in work which is harmful for their development and often means they can’t access their rights to be safe, healthy and have an education.

Article 32 (child labour): Governments must protect children from economic exploitation and work that is dangerous or might harm their health, development or education. Governments must set a minimum age for children to work and ensure that work conditions are safe and appropriate.
