ππ₯³ Rights Day 3, Healthcare Campaign! ππ₯³
This week in St Colmcille's we took part in our third rights day by creating a whole school campaign for better healthcare for children locally and globally! We focused on Article 24 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which outlines that all children have the right to health. In foundation stage and Key Stage 1 children looked at how well our government is ensuring that children's right to health is upheld locally. They discussed and debated what is going well and what needs to improve. They then created posters, went on protests walks and wrote letters to local MLA's to ask for change! Mr Colin McGrath, SDLP MLA will be visiting children next week to hear their opinions and discuss their concerns with them! Key Stage 2 children researched how children's right to health is upheld globally. They focused on a specific country and created videos, animations and wrote letters for the attention of world leaders to campaign for more equally in healthcare globally. The children worked extremely hard at completing their campaigns and we our looking forward to hearing back from some of our local MLAs and world leaders to hear how they will ensure the health of all children!
