Article 12 of the UNCRC states that children have the right to give their opinion and for it to be heard. Article 13 states that children have the right to find out things and share what they think with others. Article 29 states that education should help children learn to live peacefully, protect the environment and respect other people.

Linked to this work, the children have been learning how to make stop motion animations in our computing lessons and have created short films about plastic pollution and the oceans.

Here are our finished films:
