This week as part of our Journey towards Rights Respecting Gold Award, we explored Childrens’ Rights articles 26 (social security) Every child has the right to benefit from social security. Governments must provide social security, including financial support and other benefits, to families in need of assistance. We also explored how it links with article 27, 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. Your children were able to link this with our trying to raise money at school for a trip or a treat for both primary 5 classes.

As part of our RE lessons we are learning about the different weeks of Advent, last week the main them was Hope and this week the main them is bring Peace to everyone around us. During this second week of advent we led the advent service for Primary 4A, Primary 4B and Primary 5A. It was very special event for all of the children to take part in as we draw nearer to Christmas.

Most of our week was finishing off our posters, practising speeches and singing for todays wonderful Christmas Enterprise event which was extremely well attended. We would like to announce that the children (with huge support from families) raise £346.
