A Right Reminder

Articles 1-5

We should know and learn about the rights we are all entitled to.

During the last school session, our pupil groups each designed and made their own poster showing one of the articles from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child that was important to them: Pupil Council – a right to be heard, Eco – a right to a safe environment, clean water and healthy food, Rights Busters – a right to an education, Health Committee – a right to play and the Art club – a right to join in with different clubs and activities.  During the holidays we have had these posters enlarged and turned into outdoor displays.  Today, these were put fixed to the fences out in the playground for all to see.

We are very proud of all the displays – well done!

We’re all in this together

Article 2

The UNCRC belongs to everyone under the age of 18 no matter their race, religion or ability.

The Rights Respecting group have been busy again…  This week we have placed the whole school charter up on display at the front entrance.  After a lot of discussion, the following articles were chosen as the most important and relative in school:

8 The right to an identity, 12 The right to be heard, 19 The right to be protected from being hurt 24 The Right to a clean and safe environment, 28 The right to an education, 29 Your education should develop skills and talents.

The water coming out of the watering cans explains what adults responsibilities will be in order to make sure all children receive these rights and the flowers show the rights respecting actions for the children of St Nicholas to adhere to so they can grow and develop individually.

Roll that camera

Article 29

You have the right to education which develops your personality, respect for other’s rights and the environment

For the last couple of weeks, Film club member have been busy learning new skills in film making with Angus.  We are finding out about some of the trade secrets relating to organising a set, working a camera and  sound quality.  Next we are going to be doing some animation work and then moving onto editing.

Can’t wait to see the finished product!
