In Perth Clan we reviewed the UNCRC and picked the 9 rights that we felt were most important to our school experience. We then ranked them in order of importance and used this to form our class charter.
We decided to use the minions as the theme for our class charter. We all designed our own minion and added it to our display. We created a list of promises for our class and teacher to follow this year and these set the expectations that our class charter was built on.
The pupils of Edinburgh Clan have been busy creating our very own Class Charter. Using the book Our Class is a Family as inspiration, we reflected on how we can build a positive classroom where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and supported. The story encouraged us to think about the important role each person plays in making our clan a happy and successful place to learn.
As part of this learning, we explored the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and discussed how these rights connect to our daily lives in school. We recognised that every child deserves to feel safe, respected, included and heard. Together, we agreed on a set of shared responsibilities that will help us create a classroom where everyone can thrive and where our rights are protected throughout the year.
To bring our charter to life, we linked it to our class theme of space. Each pupil designed their own astronaut and added it to our Edinburgh Clan galaxy. Together, we have created a vibrant display that celebrates our individuality while showing that we are all part of the same crew. Just like astronauts rely on one another during a mission, we know that kindness, teamwork, and respect help us to reach our goals.
Our Class Charter will guide us throughout the year as we explore new learning, overcome challenges and achieve great things together. It reminds us that every member of our crew is important, every voice matters, and that we can reach for the stars when we support one another…
In Edinburgh Clan, we are all part of the same mission and together there are no limits to what we can achieve! 🚀🌍⭐
During the first few weeks of school, Rannoch Clan created our Class Charter, inspired by the wonderful book Our Class is a Family by Shannon Olsen. The story encouraged us to think about what it means to belong, support one another, and work together as a team.
As a class, we explored the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and discussed the rights that are important to us at school. We learned that every child has the right to feel safe, respected, included, and listened to. Together, we identified the promises and responsibilities that will help us uphold and protect these rights each day.
To bring our charter to life, we created a special Polaroid photo wall. Each pupil designed their own Polaroid picture, and together they form a vibrant display that celebrates our individuality while showing that we all belong to one class family. The display reminds us that every person matters, every voice is valued, and we are stronger when we support one another.
Our Class Charter will guide us throughout the year as we learn, grow, and create lasting memories together. We are proud of the caring, respectful, and inclusive classroom community we have built, and we look forward to bringing our charter to life every day.
We have had a positive week in Ben Lomond getting to know each other and settling into our new clan.
We have been refreshing our memories about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and thinking about the rights that are important to us. We read Everyone Is Born Free and chose our top rights for our clan. We worked together to decide how we will respect our rights as right holders, and how Miss McGuire and Miss Hutton will respect our rights as duty bearers.
After a hotly contested clan vote, we decided on Jellycat as our theme! We each designed our own Jellycat to represent us as part of our classroom display.
We read My Class Is a Family and talked about how important it is to feel happy, safe and comfortable at school, especially as we spend so much of our time here. We shared our ideas about what makes our clan feel like a family. You can see some of our thoughts in the photos below!
It’s been a lovely start to the year, and we’re looking forward to all the learning, fun and memories still to come!
This week in Mackintosh, we have been learning all about the UNCRC (United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child) and exploring the rights that every child has.
As a class, we discussed which rights are particularly important in our classroom and made sure that everyone had the opportunity to share their views and have their voice heard.
We then explored what these rights should look like, sound like and feel like in our classroom. We talked about our roles as rights holders and the responsibilities of duty bearers in helping to make sure everyone’s rights are respected.
Using all of our ideas, we worked together to create our very own Class Charter! Each pupil contributed to our display, showing that our classroom is a place where everyone should feel safe, included, respected and ready to learn.
We are looking forward to putting our charter into action throughout the year!
This week, we were delighted to host our COSD (Cost of the School Day) event here at Calderwood, bringing together families, partners and pupils for a really positive and supportive afternoon.
The event was designed to help families access support, advice and information in a relaxed and welcoming environment. A range of partner organisations joined us, offering guidance on areas such as clothing grants, funding support, employment opportunities and local community programmes for the summer.
Our pupils played an important role in making the event such a success. They helped to run a coffee shop, creating a friendly space for families to come together, chat and find out more about the support available.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to all of our partners who took the time to attend and share their expertise. Your support makes a real difference to our school community and helps ensure that families feel informed and supported.
We are also incredibly grateful to the families who came along. It was lovely to see so many people taking the opportunity to connect with services, ask questions and spend time together in school.
Events like this highlight the strength of our community and the importance of working together to support all of our children and families.
Thank you again to everyone involved in making this such a successful event.
Thank you to everyone who came along to support the children during sports day. The weather held up in the morning with showers in the afternoon. The children were able to take part in the 8 activity stations with some classes taking part in the running races. Highlights from the children were the space hopper station and the javelin throw. The winning house for the potted sports was Fallow House. Well done! The remaining races will take place at a later date.
