Compare how children’s rights are observed at Nelson Central School with those at another school in a different time or place.
We are looking at how children in Kroo Bay live. Kroo Bay is in Sierra Leone, Africa. The people there live in a slum community surrounded by rubbish. The conditions they live in are poor, struggling to find clean water and healthy homes. We are discussing children's rights and comparing our rights to those of the children in Kroo Bay.
SETTING THE SCENE:
We looked at the Save the Children website that has special interviews and videos of the children that live in Kroo Bay.

You are doing some great research room 14. The children in Kroo Bay certainly have a very different life to what you do here in Nelson! Great to see you thinking about the needs and rights of others less fortunate than you.

It is a great experience for you to be learning about children who have such a different life from you. The research you are doing is really interesting and I think that you have asked some very good questions. I am looking forward to finding out the answers!

I am so impressed with your inquiry questions Room 14. We are working on that in Room 5 too. I am going to ask Room 5 to read your questions because they are relevant and you have included key words and phrases so a computer can find good sites for your research. Are you going to ask some of the people in Kroo Bay your questions? I think we might do that too.
