Our Right of the Month is UNCRC Article 7: all children have the right to a name and belong to a country. At home, you could talk to us about our name, and why it is special/chosen for us. 💛 You could even tell us about where we were born and our family history in a country. 🌍

Today we had our Rights Respecting Rotation. We were learning about Article 28: I have the right to an education. We talked about how learners and teachers work together. We talked about what a good learner looked like and sounded like. Then we drew and labelled them!

[Mrs Kellas & Miss Mackison P4/5K @MrsK_STMB]

Rights Respecting Rotation. Article 7 lesson. National identity, our names and why registering a child’s birth is important. Did you know millions of children across the world are not registered? #UNICEFrightsrespectingschool

[Mrs Peterson & P2P @MrsP_STMB]

During last weeks Rights Rotation morning, learners across P1,2&3 explored Article 24: I have the right to be as healthy as possible. They learned the importance of handwashing and observed how quickly germs can spread and the power of soap to help stop spreading them 🦠🧼🫧
