Class charters

Hi everyone and welcome to our Blog. We will keep you updated on activities going on in school which are leading us towards becoming a 'Rights Respecting School.'

In the first week of term every class discussed what they would like their new base to be like. Older classes looked at the 'United Nations Convention on the Rights Of The Child' and decided which rights are relevant to the classroom. Each class then created a list of rights that all children should enjoy in their class. These included the right to learn, the right to be safe, the right to feel comfortable, the right to have our say, the right to be respected. Classes then discussed the behaviour and classroom routines that would be necessary to achieve these rights for everyone. These were introduced as our responsibilities. For example,our right to learn, lies alongside the responsibility to listen and follow instructions, the responsibility not to distract others and the responsibility to try our best at all times. Once all the rights and responsibilities were agreed everyone signed the charter. All the bases then displayed their charters in different ways.
