This week we have been busy making our rollercoasters. Its was really tricky to build and make the curves and the loops, but we persevered and Knighton Town Council were really pleased with our prototypes.

Human Rights Day
For Human Rights Day, we found out that the world’s food is NOT divided equally and that we all have the right to food, clothing, a safe home. (Article 27).
After World War 2, countries around the world joijned together to form the United Nations to protect individuals and to ensure that people in the world have better living conditions. Representatives from 193 countries form the United Nations. The UN created 30 rights that people are entitled to. Children are entitled to additional rights.
We discussed some of the rights that we are entitled to and we decided to look at Article 27.
According to the World Health Organisation, a third of the people in the world are well fed, or even eat too much, but two thirds of the people in the world are not getting enough food to eat. In Wales 29% of people don’t have enough to eat.
We decided to represent this figure practically by inviting 1/3 of our class to dine on a feast and 2/3 of the class to have a plate of rice.
“I hated having the rice, I was still hungry and it didn’t taste of anything”
“I didn’t have any food, luckily my friend shared his rice with me”
“I was so lucky to have a feast”
“I felt guilty eating my feast thinking about the people that didn’t have enough to eat”
We then thought of things that we could do to help….
“give to a food bank”
“ask supermarkets to give food”
“share food with other countries”
“give to charity and they can send money to people to help them”
“teach people how to be farmers and give them seeds to grow food”
“send equipment and tools to help people grow food”

We looked at various Christmas related items such as the nativity scene, the bible, chocolate, a Christmas tree, a candle, a charity envelope, Santa, a star and a stocking. We had to answer ‘What matters most at Christmas time?’
“Jesus”
“because he was born on Christmas day”
“the bible because it has stories about Jesus”
“the star because it led the wise men to Bethlehem”
“the candle because Jesus is the ;light of the world”
“stockings because Santa needs to put presents in something”
“the Christmas tree because that’s where Santa leaves presents”
“the chocolate advent calendar because it is the countdown to Christmas”
“I think the charity envelope because the money you give will buy food for other people”

Years 2, 3 and 4 enjoyed a variety of activities to celebrate a well deserved well-being day! This included having a go at some blind football and blind obstacle course, and learning how to play some new games using unfamiliar technology.
