Unicef Concert – Day for Change

1 Reply

This afternoon, along with the other P5 class, P4,  P6 and the choir put together an amazing concert to share our learning about refugees this year and raise money for UNICEF.

Mark and Michael, along with the rest of the Rights Respecting School commitee, introduced the concert – well done to them!

Each class played a song from a country affected by emergencies or war. Ours was a peace song from Somalia. We played guitars, xylophones and fiddles. We did really well and really enjoyed it!

Some of us are part of the choir and we performed four songs to end the concert.

Outright Day

As we are a Rights Respecting School, we celebrated Outright Day  on Tuesday 22 November. We worked with other pupils from our house groups and took part in 3 activities. We learned about the importance of children’s rights across the world. We found out about refugee children and how they are denied their rights because of dangers in their countries.

We went around 3 classrooms and did different activities in mixed age groups from Primary 1-7. We listened to a song, watched videos and took part in different activities.

Here are some photos from Miss McIntyre’s classroom:

  • A good classmate is…
  • In our class we should feel…
  • To be successful this year we will need…
  • In our class we should…

After we had each had a chance to answer the questions on post it notes we drew them together to create our Class Charter which we have all agreed with and have signed.
