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

Take a look at this short video where Kathy introduces Article 24 & 28...

DRESS UP FOR DIGITS

On 5th February 2021 we will be taking part in the NSPCC Number Day.  Despite not being in school we still wish to make this possible for you all to  participate at home so that we can still support the NSPCC in such challenging times.

We will be asking you to dress up in 'numbers', so please be as creative as you can-  the video below will give you some ideas!  You don't have to spend money on buying new clothes.  You could wear an item of clothing with a number on it, this can be as simple as a sports shirt or cap, even a onesie!  Or you could write some numbers on pieces of paper and attach to a top you already have.

To help raise lots for the NSPCC we ask that you click on the link below which will take you to our fundraising page.   The suggested donation is £2.
