Is Good For You Good For Me?

Welcome to Term 3!
This term we are looking at the question: Is Good For You Good For Me? We are going to use the Arts-dance, visual art, drama and music to inform children of their rights. We will also be exploring questions around fair/unfair, citizenship and social justice.
To start us off, we looked at Picasso's Guernica and discovered a whole story we thought he wanted to tell about the horror of war, and that he told without any words. We examined the United Nations Rights of the Child, and decided we wanted to represent each Right in a picture form and put the together to make a mural, like Guernica, across our classroom.
Here are our fantastic results:

Every child should have water by Eloise and Jackson

Every child should have food by Dom and Anton

Every child should have a home by Abbey and Emily

Every child deserves a happy life by Madison and Letiara

Every child has the right to an education by Serena and Coco

Every child has the right to play by Caitlin and Dryden

Every child needs love and care by Johnson and Georgia

No child should be exploited through work by Phoebe and Michelle

No child should fight in a war by Isla and Timothy

No child should be held back by a disability by Richie and Aurora

Every child has the right to an identity by Finn and Lilith

Every child has the right to free expression by Adam

The rights are all summed up in the final one: Every child deserves a happy life.
The pictures all join up along our classroom wall to make a colourful mural. We would love you to come and see them.

Do you agree with all these Rights? Do you think all children in the world know about them? Do you think all adults in the world know about them?
