On Tuesday this week it was World Water Day.

This week’s Children Rights activities linkedto the following articles:

Article 24 (health and health services): Every child has the right to the best possible health. Governments must provide good quality health care, clean water, nutritious food, and a clean environment and education on health and well-being so that children can stay healthy. Richer countries must help poorer countries achieve this.

Article 27 (adequate standard of living): Every child has the right to a standard of living that is good enough to meet their physical and social needs and support their development. Governments must help families who cannot afford to provide this.

We made posters to highlight the dangers from pollution and climate change to the amount of clean useable water. We were shocked to learn that 1000 children a day die from lack of clean, drinkable water.

In math we continued developing our understanding of fractions, decimals and percentages by using our knowledge of multiplication and division

We made Persuasive Tourist Posters which your child can show you theirs on Teams.

On Wednesday we explored the woods and played cooperative games. In Art this week we created cherry blossom trees.

Next week we will continue our persuasive writing ‘Why should every child should learn to swim?’  and continue to find fractions, percentages and decimal amounts.

Have a lovely weekend.
