Our Class Charter

We included:

• What we want to learn.
• What we want extra help with.
• What we want everyone to do so that we can achieve this.
• We related it to the UNCRC in order to reflect on which rights we all have.

Here are some of our lyricists and choreographers rehearsing for our Class Charter  Rap. They are teaching it to the class and will perform it at Assembly for the whole school.
