This week we learned about our right to an education. We learned that we are really lucky to be able to come to school as some children in other countries are not allowed to go to school and have to work instead. We heard the story of Aklima who lives in Bangladesh. Aklima wanted to go to school but spent her days scaveniging in rubbish dumps trying to find scraps to sell. We felt very sorry for Akilma and decided that even if there are things in school that we don’t enjoy doing that it is still much better than having to spend time on a rubbish dump each day.
Thinking about what we learn in school helped us to set some personal targets for this term. Here are some of our goals:
“To improve my reading.” Robyn
“To listen better.” James
“To get better at number work.” Finn
“To get better at drawing.” Ava W
We will regularly review these targets to see if we are making the improvements we hope to.
Hi Primary 2g,
The work you have been doing on your rights and actions sounds very interesting. The story of Aklima is very sad and I’m pleased that it has made you think about how lucky you are not having to go to scavenge for scraps on a rubbish dump everyday. Keep up the good work. Your targets sound great.
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Henderson
