During our first week in Primary 3/2, we worked together as a class to create our Class Charter. We started off by talking about our three school rules (Ready, Respect and Safe) and what these meant to us. We also reflected on our LEARN Values and then engaged in listening talking with a partner to share ideas about rules we thought we should have in our class. Some of us chose to draw and write our ideas. One of the most popular rules was “we will be kind to each other” so we added that to our Charter first.
Miss Marra showed us the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and we decided which Rights linked closely with our chosen rules for our class. Our favourite part was creating the artwork. We were given a plain body shape and we could turn it into anything we wanted. Some of us drew pictures of ourselves, some of us drew a character of our choice. Barbie, Pokemon, Stitch and Marvel characters were very popular choices. We will continue to reflect on our Class Charter as part of our daily routines to ensure each and every child in our class is safe and happy at school.
