09.09.24 – Rights Respecting Pupil Voice Group
At this week’s assembly, pupils discussed the small changes they had made to improve their physical and mental health.
Some children were trying to be more active by keeping their steps up or getting outside more; some children were thinking more about the type of food they were eating. Quite a few children mentioned that they were trying to use their digital devices less frequently to improve their mental health.
We also discussed the right of the month, Article 19: You have the right to be protected from being hurt or mistreated, in body and in mind.
We thought about ways in which the adults in school help to ensure all children in Chatelherault Primary School are supported in experiencing this right.
Room 13 carried out a Learning Walk around the school last week. They saw children engaged in their tasks and learning in ways which looked fun and enjoyable. The children said they saw activities that they would like to have joined in with. They saw children learning about their rights.
We also celebrated achievements by giving out Gold Awards, you can see the children who achieved Gold Awards by clicking the link below.
