Children's Rights A to Z

This term we have been discussing with the children what their rights are and what rights they think they should have. This lead to some very interesting discussions and debates about what they think they should be entitled to, overall the children came up with some excellent well thought out answers.

We then created an A to Z of children's rights with both schools taking an alternate letter.

Journeys FaceTime session

This morning we took part in a FaceTime session to discuss what we have found out during the project and compare and contrast our findings. As usual the children were eager to share their ideas and listen to each other's points of view.

Our route to school in the UK

In the UK we looked at the route the children in Lebanon took to school and compared this with our route to school. We noted any similarities and differences ready for the FaceTime session on Thursday.

Things we pass on the way to school

Journey to School

Through this project we have been developing geographical enquiry and skills, including using Google Earth or online mapping applications to investigate and present information about pupils’ routes to school.

Friendship FaceTime session.

This morning we have had a FaceTime session between the two schools, this concentrated on friendship and the qualities of friends. The children were interested in the similarities and were surprised they had the same qualities and did the same things with their friends in both countries.

Friendship project

We have been working at a project looking at the qualities of friendship, looking at our feelings of belonging or not belonging to particular groups. Through this project we also looked about how friendship can help with peace and how the qualities of friendship could make our world more harmonious.
