“I have the right to find out and share information”

Unicef Rights Respecting Schools Article 13

In Silver Birch Class, we are embracing the right to freedom of expression as outlined in Article 13 of the UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools framework. This article emphasizes every child's right to share information and ideas in a variety of ways, including through the use of technology. In our ICT    lessons, students are learning to upload and edit photographs on laptops using a photo editor. This hands-on experience allows children to creatively express themselves, develop digital skills, and communicate their thoughts visually. By linking technology with self-expression, we empower our students to make their voices heard in the digital world while respecting their rights and fostering confidence in their abilities.

This week in Silver Birch we have been looking at different types of poetry and we have been looking at poems with rhyming words. The children have been listening to words and identifying words that rhyme with them and completing matching activities. We have also been completing written activities to match the correct rhyming words.
