International Day of Education
The Power of Education
We began by listing things we feel our school offers us.
We learnt about the UN Rights of the Child and talked about reasons why some children are denied their right to their education. We talked about how powerful education can be and created a class poem ab what education can do.
We used our whole class reading sessions to read about Malala Yousafzai’s life and her educational journey. It was fascinating to learn about her life. Based on everything we had learnt we discussed what her story stood for and why it matters.
We chose a pivotal moment in her life and wrote a diary entry from her perspective. Through that we were able to share the challenges she faced and how she overcame them.
