At this weeks assembly we are learning who’s job it is to make sure children know about their rights. Governments, schools and other organisations should be informing children of their rights and giving them an opportunity to explore their rights in full.

Article 1  Definition of a child – Everyone under the age of 18 has all the rights in the Convention

Article 42 Everyone must know children’s rights – Governments must actively work to make sure children and adults know about the Convention

Todays assembly is all about article 15. Article 15 is about groups and children’s right to be members of groups.

Every child has the right to meet with other children and to join groups and organisations, as long as this does not stop other people from enjoying their rights.

Mr Green loved the work produced in P6 after assembly – he was very impressed!

Todays assembly looked at our favourite article! Article 31 – Our right to rest and play. We looked at how important physical activity is for children and how it can develop many skills that can be used in all areas of life.

We also looked at how happy sport can make people and that it isn’t always important to win, taking park can be just as fun!
