Can distinguish between Wants and Needs
Understand the concept of Rights and use the term appropriately in discussion
Understand that Rights are linked with Responsibilities
Know about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and can refer to individual rights under the Convention

7. What we need to do…
Children come to understand that global issues such as poverty, inequality and sustainability are fundamentally about human rights.
Mention theme week, thermometers,
This year our focus is very much children around the
world and thinking more globally.
