I feel that the right to live with a family who loves and takes care of you is the most important. To me a supportive family is very important.

I think that having the right to go to school and to have a good education is the most important to me. If we could not go to school, we will not have a good education to get a job to earn a living to support our family. I also think that we should have a family who loves us and takes care of us.

To me, having a right to grow up healthy , happy and safe is important to me. If children do not do not grow up healthy , they can suffer from many health problems. If they are not safe , they can get lost. Last but not the least , every child has rights and should be treated well !

I have the right to choose my own friends and to do things together, as long as it is not harmful to me or others. I have the choice to my friends so we will get along well with each other. If we cannot choose our friends, we will be very lonely.

I have the right to choose my own friends and to do things together, as long as it is not harmful to me or others.I think this is important because if we cannot choose our friends, we might not get along with others very well. We will also be very lonely and will not be able to work well with one another. When I can choose my friends, we can get along better and have each other to chat and play with and we can also tell our troubles to each other.

I have the right to eat and grow healthily while others cannot do so. I also have the right to choose my own friends and hang out with them. I know that sometimes i might be jealous when they talk to others but i learn that i need to be very grateful as i can chat with each other, play, eat together and always tell them our problems. Friends sometimes may have relationship problems but they can solve it easily. Maybe in other places, the parents of children does not allow their child to pick their own friends so the parents pick for them. So we should always be grateful about this right!

I have the right to go to school and get a good education so that I can develop my talents. Without good education, we cannot communicate with each others and will not have a better future.
ReplyDeleteJanelle Wong P4 Joy
I have the rights to choose my own friends and to do things together with them. The reason why I chose this is because if someone does not know about me and asks me to friend someone whom I do not like, I might always argue and fight with that person as I do not like that person and this could make me a sad life in school. I would not have anyone to help me when I am in trouble as I could only talk with the person who I do not like and I would probably would not ask that person anything.

I have the right to play and rest.Children should be treated fairly as we will be an adult one day too.If children study for too long, it won't be good for our eyes and health. Children should always be able to rest whenever we really need to. Emeris Yeo 4 Joy

ReplyDeleteIf we do not grow up healthy,we might suffer poor health in the future and if we do not go to school and get a good education , it would be hard to communicate with others and hard to find a job in the future.

I think having food, water and stay healthy is most important to me.
ReplyDeleteI have the right to go to school,learn and have education.As we grow older,we would have to work,get a job.If we are not well educated,our interviews will not succeed.We would be given the sack.Whatever jobs we have,we still need special skills to work.If we could not speak well,or our language is poor,we would not be able to communicate well with our colleagues.And,we still need to have enough money to purchase food and our needs,as we need to survive.When we fall sick,we still need money to go to the clinic or see a doctor.We would not know if we suffer any strange diseases.Our health is most important.We also need a house to live in.If we do not study well,we will have to live or sleep in the streets.
