Rights And Responsibilities In Reception

[Guest]

Hi,

 

Our school is taking on the rights and responsibilities of a child starting in September.

 

Each class has to create a class charter: (class rules) using the language of rights and responsibilities. We also have to choose on of the 40+ rights and create a display. For Reception I have chosen the right of: Every child has the right to a name and a nationality. As i thought this would be a nice way to enhance name writing practice at the beginning of the year.

 

Does anyone have any other ideas of how I can introduce rights and responsibilities of the child to reception children. In our transition days we have already discussed some rights such as: We have the right to play with toys, we have the responsibility to tidy up, look after our toys and share with others.

 

I am just wondering what activities I could use to reinforce this learning to children?

 

Thank-you in advance!

Hi emiej

 

UNICEF have some resources for looking at children's rights and responsibilities. You can get first steps to rights and also this stunning book on the UN convention

 

Your school can also (if it hasnt already) apply for the rights respecting school award

 

Hope that helps
