Article of the Week Article 15

Hello, This week we explore Article 15 – the right to freedom of association. This article says that every young person has the right to meet with other children and to join groups and organisations, as long as this does not stop other people from enjoying their rights. As part of this right children can meet other individuals and groups of friends. Set up an organisation or take part in peaceful protest. But there are some limits on freedom of association too. Explore the nuances of this article with your learners through a variety of activities for early years, primary and secondary.

Article of the Week Article 24

Hello, Mental Health Awareness Week happens each year in May and is an ideal time for us all to think about mental health, tackle stigma, and discuss how we can create school environments that protect our mental wellbeing. The week is based around a different theme each year, and previous themes have included nature, kindness, and body image. It is hoped that as many people as possible will have conversations about mental health and the everyday things that can affect it. Our mental health clearly links to Article 24 but many of the other rights that children and young people are entitled to, also contribute to good mental health. See how many connections you make to different rights in this week’s activities.

This week in school the children have been focusing on the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, throughout the curriculum in different subjects, assemblies and after-school clubs. It has been a fantastic build up to the King’s coronation ceremony which will take place on Saturday 6 May 2023, 11am at Westminster Abbey in London. On Friday 5th May 2023 the children and staff were invited to come into school wearing red, white and blue clothing to mark this amazing event that will be wrote in the History books for many years to come.

Each child will receive a commemorative coin for King Charles III 🙂

The coronation of the new Sovereign is an occasion for pageantry and celebration, but it is also a solemn religious ceremony that has remained essentially the same over a thousand years. For the last 900 years, the English coronation ceremony has usually taken place at Westminster Abbey in London. The service is conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, as it has almost always been since the Norman Conquest in 1066. For more details about the ceremony are available on the royal.uk website.

Part of the ceremony will focus on St Edward’s Crown, the crown historically used at the moment of coronation and last worn by Queen Elizabeth II at her Coronation in 1953. It was made for Charles II in 1661, as a replacement for the medieval crown which had been melted down in 1649.
