UNCRC Article 29: Education must develop every child’s personality, talents and abilities to the full.
After working hard with Liz Million we decided there was only one place for the wonderful artwork linking to our topics and that was in a frame!
It’s fair to say we have some very talented children when it comes to Art 🙂
UNCRC Article 12: Every child has a right to have a say in matters that affect them.
As you will know out Rights Respecting Champions thought it would be a great idea to get the children all on board with fundraising for the KS2 reading resources this Autumn term and to do this they thought a Sponsored read for all of the children to join in with would be amazing!
As Duty Bearers the staff set aside a week where the whole school could make a pledge for their read and try to raise as much money as possible. We got one of our favourite Authors on board too; Adam Bushnell, who kindly offered to sign bookmarks for all children who raised over £5 and give top prizes to the 3 children who raised the most.
It is fair to say that the teachers, champions and whole school were astounded when the sponsorships were handed in and money counted. Every child who took part exceeded all of our expectations and the total raised was UNBELIEVABLE – many children raised over £100 for completely their pledge!
As a school, we altogether raised; £2043 which is something that we are so proud of so THANK you so much for supporting us – we are getting to work ordering all of the books as we speak 🙂

A day of Smiles and Random Acts of Kindness; hosted by the UNCRC Rights Respecting Champions.
Huge well done to everyone who made the wonderful effort – it was AMAZING to see all of you wearing what made you happy 🙂
At 2pm for half an hour the children set to work delivering their Random Acts of Kindness to the children in their secretly chosen classes. It was fantastic to see every child have a smile on their faces – the most contagious thing in Nettlesworth:
Check out our SELFIE’s – I challenge you not to smile whilst watching it…. It’s impossible 🙂
UNCRC Article Link 12: Every child has the right to have a say in all matter affecting them.
Today we launched the Outright campaign with the whole school; this year’s focus is on Mental Health and Wellbeing. The champions delivered a fantastic assembly to the children along with a PowerPoint explaining what Nettlesworth Primary School children will be campaigning for this year.
They set out the first activity for the whole school to enjoy which will take place on Friday 1st October 2021 – WORLD SMILE DAY! The Rights Respecting Champions have sent letters home to invite children to come to school on Friday wearing whatever makes them HAPPY! As part of the day; the Champions organised Class names to be drawn from a hat by the teachers – the children then went back to their classes with the teachers and held a discussion on what RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS they would deliver to the chosen class at 2pm on Friday….
…….SSSHHHHHHHHH ITS A SECRET 🙂
Well done to all our children who have worked incredibly hard all week and achieved the Head Teacher’s Award. We were blown away with the quality of their work and the leadership skills they showed in lessons and playtimes. Well done to all.
Well done to all our TT Rockstars who have answered the most questions over the last 7 days.
A superb effort by all.
