The story encouraged us to think about what it means to belong, support one another, and work together as a team.<br \/><br \/>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.<br \/><br \/>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.<br \/><br \/>We have also explored how we can fill our own and each others &#8216;buckets&#8217; through the text, Have you Filled a Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud. <br \/><br \/>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.<br \/><br \/>In Tay, our class is a family! \u2764\ufe0f\ud83c\udfeb<br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12488\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/calderwood\/2026\/08\/25\/tay-clan-our-class-is-a-family\/class-charter\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/08\/25102815\/class-charter--rotated.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"945,1260\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 15&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1787647162&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.96&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.010416666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"class charter\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/08\/25102815\/class-charter--225x300.jpeg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/08\/25102815\/class-charter--768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-12488\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/08\/25102815\/class-charter--225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/08\/25102815\/class-charter--225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/08\/25102815\/class-charter--768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/public\/calderwood\/uploads\/sites\/6714\/2026\/08\/25102815\/class-charter--rotated.jpeg 945w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
