Classe 4D II CD DON SAVERIO VALERIO - Primary school-  Gravina in Puglia Italy -Pupils aged 9 Teacher Rosalia Petrocelli.

The Etwinning "Tree of Rights" project involves all the classes of our school from the first to the fifth level. In my class it started from telling to children a fairy tale called "Same or Different?"whose main theme is "EQUALITY".  Then we had a lot of conversations about the International Charter of Children Rights, each pupil created the logo because everyone wanted to express what they understood about Rights with freedom and creativity. Then pupils collected all their drawing in a small book called " The school of children rights". Moreover, on 21 of November in our school we are preparing a Big Rights Party,  so all the children are learning different songs and dances for that occasion. On that day, we will plant a tree for children in the school garden, dedicated to children whose rights are still denied.

The kindergarten II CD DON SAVERIO VALERIO Gravina in Puglia Italy- Pupils aged 3-6 years old Teacher Felicetta Ferrante .We presented the story "The Island of the Forgetful" by Bianca Pitzorno as a stimulus to bring children closer to a first understanding of the meaning of the word "RIGHTS", through the presentation of concrete situations.After creating a welcoming setting, the teacher reads the story aloud,focusing on the images in such a way that each child asks questions and expresses his thoughts freely. The children were asked to tell what they see and to draw the situation that each one prefers.The students proposed to draw a large tree,which symbolizes life and represents the rights analysed.

The first step of our work was let the students listen to a song by Laura Pausini: " Il mondo che vorrei". 

Then we had a brainstorming about the meaning of word "RIGHT". Each pupils said what that word meant for him/her and after seeing some videos about the international charter of children's rights, the discussion about the countries 

envolved in the project and if nowadays all the children all over the world enjoy the rights, all the pupils designed several graphic representations for the logo competition for the Etwinning project.

The "Tree of Rights" project was started from a

brainstorming on the importance of trees. After a short conversation on the topic, some ideas have emerged thanks to which we created a poster with the children's answers.Then we create a wall poster on the right about "health".On the hands (children's hand shapes made using the awl technique) have been written some key words that emerged from a conversation in circle time after reading a poem entitled"Health is a right". Then Each child colored a small book with drawings and nursery rhymes

Through a brainstorming the children have reflected 

on what are the primary needs of each child. 

The conversation revealed that all children have the same rights. 

After the conversation they were asked to think about a logo that would summarize these values.

After watching a cartoon explaining the rights of children, the children in a circle shared the various topics with role-playing games and discussions. 

Finally they chose to deepen "The right to nationality"because inside the class 

there are some foreign children. They enjoyed producing so many drawings representing this theme, hoping that one of them could be chosen as 

the logo of the project.

Pupils aged 9 Teacher Celeste Lorusso

The products of classes 4A and 4B arise from the joyful creativity of enthusiastic studentsfor the topic. The approach to the issue of children's rights occurred through narratives, videos, reflections, role plays, civic education activities, comparisons followed by a positive awareness.Everyone felt himself protagonist and actor deserving of rules in their favor. The final works express happiness and poetry in trees animated, full of rights like fruit waving in the foliage now adorned with softly colored flowers,like the almond tree, now represented by more vividly colored flowers,now from a formidable supporting hand, now with branches  like curly hair and the dreams of children around the world.Each work is accompanied by a universal circle of festive children and flags.

Pupils aged 9 Teachers Antonella Tragni - Anna Maria Dibenedetto

Talking with children about their rights initially seemed obvious, as they are already beneficiaries of those rights.At that point the idea to tell them a story told lightly, but which addresses a fundamental theme such as that of children's rights proposed by Unicef:"The Island of the Forgetful". The various logos that have resulted from the different students see the constant presence,or almost, of hands:they are the hands that children would like to reach out to to those who do not enjoy these rights or even worse lives a lonely life without his parents.The hands, therefore, represent a virtual caress to the most defenseless.

It is very important to know, understand and remember own rights.This is why we explained children's rights to pupils, through games, 

nursery rhymes, graphic representations and riddles,considering their young age, with

particular attention to the "RIGHT TO NATIONALITY", because nowadays many children are denied it due to wars.

The teacher invites the children to listen to the illustrated story: "Linda the storm". The dramatization of the latter follows in groups of 5 since.The dramatization is followed by stimulus questions; children formulate hypotheses "about the meaning of rights and duties";they are invited to participate in a group game: "What is the real right?" where from time to time they name a right with the formula: I have the right to...." and discover whether it is a real right or rather a whim: in the first case the children stand up, in the second case they remain sitting.At the end, the children carry out various individual and group graphic/pictorial activities . A poster entitled: Children's rights is also created... and they memorize the song: Right and Dut

Hi everyone!These have been our activities for the project:

Firstly, and aiming to begin the children's rights topic, I ask them what they think that meaned. We did a brainstorming activity writing the interactive whiteboard.Next, I let them searching in pairs on the Internet about children's rights, so we could discuss about it later.Thirdly, they explained what they found that meaned, and what rights they are.Then, each student choose a right.Finally, we did an arts & crafts activity. They traced their hands on a coloured cardboard cut it out, and wrote the right they have chosen. Once everyone had finished, we pasted all the hands together simulating a tree: The Tree of Rights!

On the occasion of the Christmas holidays the schools partners of this project exchanged Christmas cards
