Once again, our EARA children did a fantastic job at this term's network meeting. This time, the network meeting was held at Leesland, where our EARA children were brilliant hosts! We had seven other schools from the Gosport and Fareham visit our school. 

The focus for this network meeting was around "The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child". The children recapped the different articles and then applied their knowledge to different posters, to see if they could identify where a child's rights were and were not being implemented. Following this activity, our infant and junior members presented their ideas to the other children in the hall. 

After talking to some of the inclusion and diversity adults, we then picked one of the UN Convention articles and started to create a picture to represent the child's right we selected. 

At the end of the meeting, our EARA members did a short presentation, explaining the progress and impact they have had across the federation, including their Friday Flyer questions and the interview process for our new infant EARAs. Everyone was really impressed! 

EARA group did a brilliant job at this month's networking meeting. The children went to Cornerstone Primary to meet with other EARA groups members. They talked about identify and ways to promote diversity. The children also demonstrated the power of kindness by sharing compliments. Leesland EARA children also shared the work they have been doing in our Collective Worships and shared their fantastic new badges. We are very proud of them all! 

The focus for this network meeting was gender stereotypes. The children read a range of scenarios that did not promote gender equality and then had to discuss how they could promote equality and equity. 

Then we explored different occupations and the children had to list the qualities and skills they felt someone might need to be successful in that job. The children identified that someone's gender is not an important factor when talking about job aspirations.   

This network meeting has helped to give Leesland EARAs some ideas for their next whole school assembly. 

The children were learning about 'The Children's Act' and 'The Convention on the Rights of the Child'. We explored the civil, political, economic, social, health and cultural rights of a child that are protected by law. Then, we had an opportunity to travel to a new planet and establish our own protective rights, however we had to select the 8 rules we thought most important.  There was lots of discussion between the children as they moved around the room to look at the other EARA group's ideas. 

All the children that attended worked brilliantly together!
