Speaking up for ourselves
Article 12: Every child has the right to be heard and have their views taken seriously
We play football on Wednesday lunchtime at school but some of us were a bit sad about this. We wanted to play more so Majella and Alice said if we get lots of ticks for playing well we could earn some more football lunchtimes. We were getting bored of one day of football and we were heartbroken. We were being good and kind when we finished football and we learned our lesson of not getting sad. Sometimes we get ticks for being good in football but we haven’t earned anymore playtimes for footie so we wrote this letter to Majella and Alice. They listened to us and were so proud of us thinking for ourselves and writing the letter that they said we could play football on Fridays too. We spoke up for ourselves and school listened to us.
