A Glimpse into Child Labour

In order to get the feel of what it may be like to be a child who HAS to work in difficult conditions, for long hours and for very little pay, the kids in Year 3 and 4 carried out 5 different 'child labour' activities.

The students were asked to 'put themselves into the shoes' of less fortunate children who are forced into labour, while the teachers took the role of the bossy manager in charge of quality control.

Here's a quick clip of children sorting grains of rice.

Here's one children washing clothed by hand.

From our inquiries, we've found that children how have to work are not able to go to school to get an education and a brighter, more rewarding future.

These kids are carrying water for their families.  They have no shoes and have to travel a long way so they can't go to school very often.

We're looking forward to helping some less fortunate children in Cambodia and the Green Gecko  Project.  Help us raise money to buy them what they need to get a good education and stay off the streets.

The artworks are varied and really looking fantasic.  The art is very meaningful as all the kids have been involved and ready to hang on your wall.

Maths - Old School Style

In the past 2 weeks we've been adding 2 digit numbers using the 'Old School Style' WORKING FORM.  The kids have shown sound place value knowledge of hundreds, tens and ones so we were able to learn this quick was of adding.

 These three boys rolled two dice, wrote down the number, rolled again and added them together.  They repeated this for 5 minutes, adding the next 2-digit number they rolled to make a CUMULATIVE TOTAL.

 Working together to get the correct answer.

At the end, we had mini competitions - great fun and excellent practice.  WELL DONE GUYS!

That's what the kids in Room 10 have had to think about when they've read different stories of children working in different conditions around the world.

Come in and check out our posters.  Here's a glimpse at few posters we made using 'Pages' on the laptops.
