Who is UNICEF?

UNICEF is a global charity which protects and supports children. They do this by:    
* upholding the Convention on the Rights of the Child.     
* continuing to be a driving force that helps build a world where the rights of every child are realised. 
* advocating for lasting change for children.       
* believing that nurturing and caring for children are the cornerstones of human progress.        
* working to ensure equality for those who are discriminated against.

What do Annbank Primary RRS Committee do? 

We began our Rights Respecting journey in 2011. We are very proud to be a Gold Accredited Rights Respecting School.  Our school and community achieved our Gold Award in November 2018 and again in November 2021!  As a school we celebrate and value all the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

• We are all Rights Holders.
  
• We know and understand that our rights are Inherent, Indivisible, Inalienable, Universal, Unconditional.
• Our Duty Bearers protect, represent and help fulfil our rights.

We are excited to announce that our P5 Rights Respecting Pupil Committee have decided it would be super to support UNICEF by signing up to Paddington’s Post Cards.  We will receive monthly information from Paddington to show how UNICEF and the money we are donating will help children all around the world access their rights.  

class charters session 2021-2022:

At the start of each new school year, each class works with their teacher to create a class charter.  They choose focused Articles from the UNCRC to explore and include in their charter, however they do investigate all rights through various lessons.  The class charter is a way of ensuring that we work together to ensure everyone is able to enjoy their rights.
Some class charters have a theme such as emojis and superheroes to name a few!  These are symbols used throughout the classroom for groups etc and children know their rights should be enjoyed throughout the class in all curricular areas as well as within the life of the school.

COP-26!

This year as a school we took part in lots of exciting COP-26 activities to broaden our knowledge and understanding of how to respect and look after our environment. We also became extremely passionate about standing up and making the changes necessary in our world. Take a look at the activities we got up to ->
