This week it was Anti-Bullying week we were encouraged to share kindness with everyone in school because one kind word leads to another. Kindness fuels kindness.

. We made connections to our Childrens Rights

• Article 2 – Non-discrimination: The Convention applies to every child without discrimination, whatever their ethnicity, gender, religion, language, abilities or any other status, whatever they think or say, whatever their family background.
• Article 12 – Respect for the views of the child: Every child has the right to express their views, feelings and wishes in all matters affecting them, and to have their views considered and taken seriously.
• Article 19 – Protection from violence, abuse and neglect: Governments must do all they can to ensure that children are protected from all forms of violence, abuse, neglect and bad treatment.

This week as part of Catholic Education Week we have been learning about the Pope Francis Faith Award awarded by the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland, designed to help children to show “signs of love” in their daily lives and to be active members of their local Church.  It invites young people at the Primary 6 and 7 stages to use the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and to see how they can bear fruit in their homes, schools and parishes.

We have we have been selecting two Junior Road Safety Officers. One from P6A and one from P6B, Most children in Primary 6 wanted to take part and completed an application form. They will be helping lead us find ways to be safer travelling to and from school throughout this year.

In our Technology lesson we have been working cooperatively to create a paper bear. We will post a picture next week when we have completed it. As part of our topic we are continuing to use technology to research Climate Change Activists.

It’s been a very busy week. Enjoy the weekend.
