The children in Year 1 have their class charter and rights displayed in their classroom so that we can frequently remind ourselves of how important they are.

We also share our right of the month in assembly each week.

Article 28: The right to a good quality education

In year one we have been settling in to our new classroom and exploring a range of fun and challenging learning activities.

We made a class charter and agreed to work together to make sure our learning environment is a safe and fun place for all.

We are celebrated in class and as a wider school when we make good choices and understand the consequences if we make bad choices.

We are really enjoying our time in Year One so far and have made some beautiful artwork to represent how we are going to ‘reach for the stars’ this year to achieve our learning goals.

Today Year One were introduced to Dartmoor 3 ball. We learnt the rules of play and Yew Class went up against Silver Birch!

Both classes had the opportunity to be ‘batters’ and ‘fielders.’

In year one we have been thinking about how we grow and change throughout our lives. We thought about what life is like when we are born, how we grow and learn to walk and talk, then keep growing and changing until we are adults. We thought about all the things we needed to keep our bodies healthy to life a long, happy life.

Article 30: You have the right to practise your own culture, language and religion.

Today Shahnila and her family have been celebrating the Muslim festival of Eid. She gave sweet treats to all her friends in Silver Birch class and came into Yew class to show us the card she gave to Mrs Sheldon and told us all about her special celebrations.

Thank you for sharing it with us 😊

In Year One we have been thinking about how we can help each other and treat each other fairly. We linked this to our Christian value of Compassion and created a collage to show hands reaching out to help one another, and the world in the shape of a heart to symbolise how people all over the world should be loved and treated fairly.

We have the right to rest and play.

We have been joining in with cosmic yoga adventures in Yew class. We have lots of joining in and we have been learning about using yoga, and other types of exercise, to relax our minds and bodies.

Our education should help us use and develop our talents and abilities. It should help us learn peacefully, protect our environment and respect other people.

In year one we have been settling into our new class and thinking about how we can ‘reach for the stars’ throughout the year. We read ‘ How to catch a star’ by Oliver Jeffers and thought about how our goals and aspirations are like stars. We thought about the things we want to achieve throughout the year and how we need to behave in order to achieve our goals.

We completed some artwork to display in the School to remind us that we can achieve anything we set our minds to!

Today we thought about who was in our family and how all families are different!

We linked this to Article 9 ‘ The right to be with a family who cares for us.’

Pupils then drew members their family who lived with them.

Today a small group worked with Miss Molteno to talk about United Nations and their goal of taking climate action. They also discussed how this impacts on them and their human rights (Article 12 the right to have a say and Article 24, the right to a clean and safe environment).
