BE PART OF THE SOLUTION

Coronavirus is affecting children’s lives in almost every country and putting children's rights to education, nutrition and protection at risk. Please click on the link to see what you can do to help.

Every week a PowerPoint focused on an article from the CRC will be uploaded to this page. These will be full of rights related learning resources to help your children understand the pandemic. Now more than ever, teaching and learning about rights is vital.

This week we are exploring Article 42 - Knowledge of Rights. Article 42 is essential for helping everyone understand what we need to create a world where everyone's rights are respected and upheld. Why do your rights matter to you? What’s so special about them? When you are an adult what will you do to tell other people about rights?

Week 6 - Protection from violence, abuse and neglect

Protection from violence, abuse and neglect means that governments and duty bearers must ensure that children and young people are protected from harm by whoever looks after them. Think about the people who help to keep you safe and protected, think about how you can thank them and let them know how much they matter to you.

This week we are looking at Article 28 - the right to education. Every child has the right to an education to help them develop their talents and abilities and reach their full potential. While you are at home, your teachers are busy making sure you still have access to education. What do you think makes a good teacher? What does a rights respecting school like? Teachers do much more than teach and school is much more than just lessons. What are you missing the most about English Martyrs'? Try out the activities and remember to share your work!

We refer to article 14 a lot at English Martyrs' as we celebrate all the different faiths we have under our roof! This article guarantees every child's right to think and believe what they choose and to practice their religion, as long as they are not stopping others from enjoying their rights.

What thoughts and beliefs are important to you? Can you think of any religious artefacts that are used across many religions? What does your house of worship look like? Can you draw and identify religious symbols? Have a go at the activities! We love seeing your work!

Every child has the right to be registered at birth, to have a name and nationality, and, as far as possible, to know and be cared for by their parents. How much do you know about your name and identity? Learn more about Article 7 and try out the activities. Remember to share any work you complete!

Now, more than ever, it is important your voices are heard!

World Children's Day / 30th Anniversary of the CRC

20.11.2019

On this day in 1989 something incredible happened. Against the backdrop of a changing world order leaders came together and made an historic commitment to children - they promised to protect and fulfill the rights of every child. English Martyrs' spent the day celebrating in their phases. 
 

The fantastic work completed by our pupils on World Children's Day!

Our Class Charters

Every class has their own class charter. This is a visual document that establishes a set of rights-based principles that the teachers and children have agreed on for the classroom. Our class charters help us to understand our rights, how we can respect each other's rights and how duty bearers (adults) can help us to enjoy our rights!

Article 19 -You have the right to be protected from being hurt or badly treated.

Article 35 - No-one is allowed to kidnap or sell you.

Article 36 - You have the right to protection from any other kind of exploitation.

Article 37 - You have the right not to be punished in a cruel or hurtful way.
