Article 27 (adequate standard of living) Every child has the right to a standard of living that is good enough to meet their physical and social needs and support their development. Governments must help families who cannot afford to provide this.
In Frog class the children have been working hard on their swimming targets, they worked together, inspiring each other to try new tasks. Each child is doing well completing their targets for this term.
Article 15 (freedom of association) Every child has the right to meet with other children and to join groups and organisations, as long as this does not stop other people from enjoying their rights.
As part of Frog class turn-taking and communication skills they played with the train track, building bridges and taking it in turns to put the track together. They all were very excited to play with the trains and were happy to wait whilst popular parts of the equipment were rotated between the children.
Article 6 (life, survival and development) Every child has the right to life. Governments must do all they can to ensure that children survive and develop to their full potential.
During Maths, Frog class measured different objects using multi links blocks. They measured toy cars, pots and objects on paper too, finding their different heights and lengths. After counting the blocks, the number was recorded to compare with their friends.
Article 2 (non-discrimination) The Convention applies to every child without discrimination, whatever their ethnicity, sex, religion, language, abilities or any other status, whatever they think or say, whatever their family background.
As part of our wellbeing Frog class completed some mindfulness colouring assisted by pupils from Wellacre School. They helped the children select colours and guided them colouring using a number crib.
Article 13 (freedom of expression) Every child must be free to express their thoughts and opinions and to access all kinds of information, as long as it is within the law
As part of Frog classes wellbeing, we have been cooking and had dance massage.
In cooking we made our own pizza base dough then created individual toppings of our own taste.
During dance massage we had head massages, brushed scarfs on our arms and faces. The children had stretching exercises and finally a hand massage with herbal lotion.
Article 3 (best interests of the child) The best interests of the child must be a top priority in all decisions and actions that affect children
During the recent snow fall frog class went out to have some fun picking up and holding the snow. They discussed it being cold, wet and talked about its texture too. They made some shapes with the snow in their hands and snow angels on the ground.
Article 5 (parental guidance and a child’s evolving capacities) Governments must respect the rights and responsibilities of parents and carers to provide guidance and direction to their child as they grow up, so that they fully enjoy their rights. This must be done in a way that recognises the child’s increasing capacity to make their own choices.
