Last week our Rights Ambassadors visited Teign School to meet their student ambassadors and visit the library to get ideas for our own library makeover. They had some brilliant discussions, sharing how we work in our school and taking ideas about how Teign School ambassadors lead and support their learning across the school. The library visit was also brilliant for inpsiring some new ideas and helping us to get some ideas about differernt books and authors we can explore.

Our ambassadors truely lived up to their name and loved the opportunity to access their right to a voice (Article 12 of the UNCRC).

Our play buddies have been out at playtimes this week, supporting children with their play and teaching new games! They are working hard to promote fair and peaceful play for everyone while sharing new ideas and helping everyone to be involved.

Our rights ambassadors have been exploring the term ‘inherent’ in more detail by looking at it as a human right, not just a children’s right. They went on a visit to Bishopsteington House residential home to visit the residents and spend some time getting to know them. The ambassadors have been teaching the school that inherent means everyone is born with rights and are starting to learn about ‘inalienable’ which means rights cannot be taken away. They were brilliant at socialising with the residents and talking to them about their own lives and the memories they have. The children taught the residents some new games and the residents enjoyed joining in with colouring activities with the children. It was a brilliant hour where different generations were able to share and interact.

While the ambassadors were visiting they also took the opportunity to share their plans for our library refurbishment. The ambassadors have been working very hard on plans they would like to incorporate into a new library design and were so confident in sharing their ideas and explaining how it will help every child access their right to an education.
