Rights of the child
In the Foundation phase classes, we have been focusing upon Article 3 Best interest of the child and Article 31 Leisure, play and culture linked to the rights of the child.
We have been ensuring that children and staff within our classes are kept safe during these difficult and challenging times. We have ensured that children are aware of the reasons for frequent handwashing and the need for staff to wear face masks when completing work with them close up.
Children have been engaged in our topic linked to seize the seasons. They have been involved in learning about celebrations and events which are important to them for example, birthdays, Halloween etc. Children have been developing their social skills through play based authentic learning experiences.
