Primary 2/1 worked together to create a class charter. We looked at relevant articles from the UNCRC and referred to those to help us decide on some actions to ensure that the rights of everyone in the class will be met.
Primary 3 Class Charter
Primary 3 have been learning about children’s rights. They worked together to create a class charter with a list of rules that they all agree to follow to make sure everyone in the class has the right to learn, to be listened to and to be safe. To sign up to their charter, the class also created their own super pupils who will help everyone to learn and enjoy school.
Primary 4 Class Charter
Primary 4 explored their rights and decided which ones they thought were most relevant for their class charter. They then talked about what the pupils and the adults would have to do to ensure that these rights were respected. Finally, they shared ideas for how the charter could be presented in our class. Everyone agreed that Eve’s idea of displaying it on a Smartboard with everyone watching it would be a great idea. Here is our display.
Primary 6
As part of our community fortnight, Primary 6 have been looking at the value ‘Support’. We talked about a time that we have been supported or supported others and we wrote down a list of ways that we can support each other in school. These included: helping each other with our learning, comforting others when they are sad and treating everyone with respect.
We have also been working on forming our class charter. We looked at the articles from the UNCRC in groups and chose the rights that we thought were most relevant to our class. We then voted as a whole class to base our charter on the four rights below.
Article 28 – We have the right to an education.
Article 19 – We have the right to be safe and protected.
Article 13 – We have the right to find out information and express ourselves.
Article 14 – We have the right to choose our own religion and beliefs.
We worked together to list positive actions that we should do to ensure that everyone has these rights in our classroom.
P7 Community Class Charter
P7 have been working together to plan, design and create our class charter. We started by looking at the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and chose 7 Rights we thought were most relevant to our class. We then thought about what both adults and pupils could do to ensure the Rights were met. Next, the class brainstormed different ideas on how to best display our charter. We decided on ‘The Hollywood Walk of Fame’ idea as we believe we are all stars.
We think it looks great! We hope you agree. P7, Mrs Andison & Mrs McConville 
Primary 3
Primary 3 have been working hard to build their Class Community Contract!
We have been focusing on three key words to help us – Ready, Respectful and Safe. We (ourselves, Miss M and Mrs Ross) discussed what each word meant, brainstormed and drew pictures of what they would look like in school.
We also thought about which rights would link to each key word. Take a look at our superhero-themed contract below!
Check in with us next time to see what we have been learning!
Until then…
Primary 3 & Miss M 🙂
Hello from P2C
Over the past two weeks we have been looking at our Rights and together we created our class charter. A promise of how we will behave in class and signed by us all. There were lots of great suggestions but we managed to narrow them down to four.
My favourite is the last one: ‘We are kind’
Our Shiny New Primary Ones!
The P1 boys and girls has been very busy over the last 2 weeks settling into their new class. We have talked about some of the rights children have and shared ideas on how we can have a happy, safe learning community.
We can earn Class Dojo points for our school House teams: Almond, Breich and Calder.
We can also fill ours and others buckets through positive actions in school.
We will have some ‘Together Time’ each week to celebrate respecting our class promises!
Hello from P5
We have been very busy getting back into our routines since we have returned to school after the summer holidays. We have spent the first two weeks discussing what is to go into our class charter and sharing our opinions. Here is a picture of our Class Charter showing the things we have all agreed on for our class.
Hello from Primary 2S!
The boys and girls have all settled in well to their new stage and have been busy learning the routines in Primary 2 over the last two weeks. In class, we have been talking about some of our rights and sharing ideas about what we think should be included in our class charter so that we have a happy and successful year in Primary 2. We called our charter our “Pinky Promise” and put our name around the charter in our own star. This is to show that we worked as a team to agree what should be included.
