A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
This week, Primary 4 finished their work on ‘The Iron Man’ through a STEM challenge!
They were challenged to create a model of the Iron Man by making a model which incorporated electrical components and circuits. The photos below show their super work!
Primary 7 have been learning about the UNCRC rights. We collaborated to explore each right and its significance. From our discussions, we identified four rights that we thought were important for our classroom environment. We chose Article 23 (The right for everyone to be included no matter their needs), Article 28 (The right to an education), ​Article 31 (The right to play)​, Article 19 (The right to be protected from harm). Primary 7 picked a jungle theme for their class charter to display their rights.
Primary 6 have been learning all about the UNCRC and how important children’s rights are. We worked together to discuss all of the rights and identified which ones we felt were best suited to school. We then got to vote for which ones we wanted for our class charter. We chose Article 2 (No discrimination), Article 7 (The right to a name and nationality) and Article 28 (The right to an education). Here is our class charter.

Thank you for your support,

Primary 5 have been working in pairs to reflect on the UNCRC. They discussed each of the rights and then decided in pairs which ones would apply to a classroom setting. We then looked at the ones that most pairs had highlighted to form our class charter. 
Primary 3/2 worked as a team to create a class charter to ensure that the rights of all pupils are respected. After learning about the rights within the UNCRC, the class agreed on a set of actions that would help everyone to be safe, learn, play and be listened to in the classroom. They also made a list of actions for teachers to follow too. Each pupil then created their own alien character for the wall to show that we will all work together to follow our class charter.
Please take a look at our wonderful Primary 2/1 charter. We discussed our rights and reflected on what a quality learner and quality teacher is. We agreed our classroom rules as a team. We have the right to be safe and learn at school. We will follow our classroom rules to stay safe and enjoy quality learning experiences. 
We created our class charter using a book study.​ We read the book ‘Sharing a Shell’ by Julia Donaldson to help us.​ The book explored our school values of Kindness, Respect and Friendship. We used our prior learning about our school values to support us with learning about our rights. We discussed the role of Rights Holders and Duty Bearers.​ We chose rights from the UNCRC which we felt we understood.
