This week in P7 we created our new class charter. We considered the main themes in our school values and the UN rights of the child and decided that we would make our overall theme about respect as this makes it easy to understand rather than having lots of statements to learn and abide by. We have changed our wall display to ’emojis’ so that each child in the class is represented by one of their favourite emojis which they use on their phones/tablets etc. Our charter is also linked to Class Dojo so that we are very clear on when we are abiding by our class charter and when we are not (which is very rare in P7!)
We also started our new topic this week which is Democracy. We are very excited about this as for the first time in topic work we are working as a whole P7 group with the P7 children from P6/7 joining us. So far we have talked about the features of a democratic government and written a manifesto as if we were a leader running for a political party. We really enjoyed writing these as we were able to debate things like education, health and the environment which was really interesting.
Have a great weekend!
I think a theme of respect is such a great choice, particularly for this stage in primary 7. This shows to me that you are developing into mature and responsible young people! I like the idea of the emojis, I must pop in and see this display!
I’m glad that you are all excited about working as a whole year group, and I think your topic sounds very interesting. I know you will have all enjoyed debating about different topics!!!!
Thanks P7
