'Wants and needs' in Year 2

Year 2 have been learning the difference between wants and needs. In our circle time we imagined we were starting a new life on a desert island and all chose something we would like to take wirth us. We then sorted these out and listed the ones that would be essential for us to survive; food and seeds to grow more food, water, tools to build shelters, someone else for company, favourite toy for relaxation.

 We learned about the 'United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child' and found that these needs are actually seen as our rights and also the rights of all children everywhere.
