Article of the Week Article 31

Hello, Article 31, which we explore in this week’s Article of the Week, covers a wide range of cultural and artistic activities beyond what we might typically think of as ‘play’. It also includes relaxation and rest, as well as sport and physical activity. This week’s pack take a holistic approach to this article and includes activities that will appeal to children and young people across a broad scope of their interests. After the summer break we will no longer deliver new Article of the Week packs every week by email. All packs will continue to be available online. In the next academic year we will launch a new monthly resource called Spotlight. Spotlight will be a themed continuing professional development resource which helps you embed children’s rights practice and the outcomes of the Award with staff in your school. This new teacher training resource will be sent out in a monthly email which will highlight other resources that we recommend exploring that month.
