This year is the Year of Young People and we are making sure that our opinions and ideas are being heard and responded to. We are learning about our rights and responsibilities and how the UN Rights of The Child can support us to contribute to achieving some of the The Global Goals.
Today Mr Wylie from Orkney Islands Council Education Department came to see us to talk about our campaign. We had written to him to see if he could help us spread the message about getting rid of single use plastics in schools. He helped us think about what our next steps might be.
We were in the paper as well.
The P7s went up to Papdale in the afternoon to meet the Commissioner. They really enjoyed their visit. The Commissioner Bruce Adamson listened to lots of opinions and ideas about how to make things better for children in Orkney. It was a great opportunity to meet and listen to children on the Pupil Council at Papdale, and to discuss and share opinions.
We hope we can do something similar again.
