Rights and Responsibility.


We have been exploring rights, responsibility and law. I was so impressed by the class discussion we had on Tuesday. We establishing that laws are created to protect our rights. However there was some rich discussion and many questions come up and a wide range of views. It was awesome!

We explored statements such as ‘ We have a right to grow trees in our garden but does our neighbour have a right to a view’ and similar situations. We went on to talk about agreements. We also looked when rights are taken away or when people abuse rights.

Today we continued our discussion and started talking about our rights and responsibilities in the classroom and playground.

We have a responsibility to respect the rights of everyone.

Hello Mr Eames,

Indeed, the magic word IS treaty. Although, a bit obvious, don't you think?

I definetly deserve a fruit burst :D
