Article of the week is a regular set of learning activities centred on a specific article linked to the UN Convention on the Rights of the child (UNCRC).  Each week we will post a new article which we will be focussing on along with suggested activities which you can complete at home if you wish - you are very welcome to share your activities with your class teacher by posting on your class page.

This weeks article of the week is centred around Article 24 & 28 -Balancing rights

Article 24 – Health care ensures that every child has the right to the best possible health

Governments must provide good quality health care, clean water, nutritious food, and a clean environment and education on health and well-being so that children can stay healthy. Richer countries must help poorer countries achieve this.

Article 28 - Every child has the right to an education

Primary education must be free and different forms of secondary education must be available to every child. Discipline in schools must respect children’s dignity and their rights. Richer countries must help poorer countries achieve this

All of the below activities are linked to Article 24 & 28, for KS1 children these will also be posted on Google Classroom, 

You don’t need to do every single activity but if you have time you can do more than one!

1)  Draw or list people who can help you stay healthy and to learn. What are their jobs? How can you thank the people in your family who help you?

2)  How is your teacher supporting your learning right now? List all the different ways that you learn and talk to a friend or family member and see if you can come up with more ideas.

3)  Read https://nosycrowcoronavirus.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/Coronavirus_ABookForChildren.pdf and talk about what you are doing as a family to keep healthy during this time.
