What do the ‘Rights of the Child’ mean to you?

We thought carefully about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. We can remember lots of the articles and know why they are important. But, what do they mean to us in Class 4?

 

Here are just a few of our answers…

 

Rights are important for lots of reasons.

I think one is that people don`t have to earn them.

Great! Because there are lots of them. My favourite is the right to rest and play.

Happy people have got something to do with rights but not everyone in the world respects people’s rights.

That is some of them. One other is that lots of people are trying to stop these fights between rights.

So, I`m still not done I also like that it has made other people think about us and made us think about other children.

Thank you Nancy! 

 

* The rights of the child means I have a right to share an opinion.

* I have the right to have an education.

* every child has the right to be free.

* every child has a right to be loved

* every child has the right to be fed, put a roof over their head and cloth them.

* every child has the right to play and make kind friends.

I agree Gabriel.

The rights make me feel safe. Because I know I have them I can stick up formyself when people are trying to take them away from me. They mean to me love and no fighting.

Wise words Jack.

 

The rights of a child means the world to me, if we did not have them everyone would be fighting, and that isn't the way God wants us to be. I am proud to be a part of a Rights Respecting School, a long with that all my friends and teachers who help me through school and life. God helps me through every thing I do from behaving, to changing the word. Rights of a child is just like living life to it's full, and that is what Cathedral School is about. 

Very thoughtful Aisa.

What do Rights mean to me?

Our rights in Cathedral Primary School are important to everyone. It is important to me because it shows that me and other pupils respect each other as well as we respect the adults.

We all have the right to an opinion: This right is very important to me and maybe to other students because it shows that in Cathedral Primary School we are allowed to speak and have talks with the adults and each other.

It’s great you feel like respected and listened to Renee!

Sports Week

We have done so much exercise this week… and it’s only Tuesday!

The best is yet to come with Sports Week in Class 4, but here are some posters that we have been making to remind us why it is important to keep fit!

The History of Film!

Cathedral Primary School worked film-maker Sam Lawlor to to explore the history of film. Pupils researched the ages of cinema and scripted short scenes depicting different eras. After acting and filming on location around the Southbank, they practised editing techniques and using special effects.

Enjoy!
