In Year 1, we have been thinking about our rights. We have started the year by looking at the rights and duties of the Right Holders (child) and Duty Bearers (adult).

We looked at Article 28 during our transition days, and talked about what good learning looks like, what we can do to help ourselves and others and what responsibilities Duty Bearers have to help us learn.
