Tay Clan: Our Class is a Family

During the first few weeks of school, Tay 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 used our pupil voice and voted for a shoal of fish. Each pupil designed their own sea creature, 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.

We have also explored how we can fill our own and each others ‘buckets’ through the text, Have you Filled a Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud.

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.

In Tay, our class is a family! ❤️🏫

Edinburgh Clan Class Charter

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! 🚀🌍⭐    

Clan Charter – Ben Lawers

Last week, in Ben Lawers, we discussed our rights and worked together to choose four rights for our clan charter. We talked about how we can respect these rights as right holders, and how our teacher, Miss Robertson can respect our rights as the duty bearer.

As our clan charter has a Disney theme, we each drew our favourite Disney character as our way of signing the charter.

We wonder which characters you can spot?

Rannoch Class Charter: Our Class is a Family

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.

In Rannoch, our class is a family! 📸❤️🏫

Our Class Charter

Ben Lomond Clan Charter

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!

Mackintosh Clan Charter

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!

Muir Clan Charter

Muir Clan – Our Clan Charter

This week, Muir clan have been learning about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and exploring the rights that all children should have. We began by discussing what a “right” is and why children’s rights are important both in school and in the wider world.

Together, we explored different articles from the UNCRC and talked about which rights are most meaningful to us in our school and classroom. Through thoughtful discussion and teamwork, the children selected four rights that they feel are the most important to display, promote and respect within our classroom environment.

The children then worked together to create a list of ways that they can respect these rights for themselves and for others every day. This helped them to understand that rights come with responsibilities and that everyone has a role in helping to make our classroom a safe, happy and inclusive place to learn.

We chose a theme for our Clan Charter, created a catchy slogan ‘Level up: Respect my rights, respect yours’ and added their own characters to make it unique and meaningful. We are very proud of the creativity, collaboration and respect shown throughout this learning.

Our Clan Charter will now be displayed in our classroom as a reminder of the rights we share and how we will respect these rights for ourselves and others to ensure we all feel valued, respected and supported.

Burns Clan Charter 26-27

This week, we created our Burns Clan Charter by learning about the UNCRC and choosing the children’s rights that are most important to our class family. We selected Article 29, which says that education should help children develop their talents, abilities and respect for others, and Article 31, which gives every child the right to relax, play and take part in cultural activities. We discussed how we, as rights holders, and the adults, as duty bearers, will work together to respect and uphold these rights throughout the school year. To bring our charter to life, we chose a ‘Costawood’ theme for our display, representing the meaningful conversations we share together over a cup of coffee or an iced frappé!
