As part of our Life and Ethos work, P1/2 designed a Rights Mascot for Danestone Primary. The children has lots of fantastic ideas including using a book for the Right to Learn and a banana for the mouth to show the Right to healthy food. We then set the rest of the school a challenge of creating their own Rights Mascot. We will then judge the entries and pick a winner next week; we are very excited about this! Once we have a winner, we will use the mascot around the school to remind us of our Rights.
