Shhhhhhh! We are Silent!



Today we participated in We Are Silent! The grade fours and fives get to participate in this event. The reason we are silent is because 31 million girls are not heard so we stay silent so then they can speak for their rights. Today a lot of kid’s bought tags for 1 dollar to participate in this event! We hope that you are staying silent! Let children that are not heard speak out!!! 

We also did a writing job to talk about children`s rights. We had to answer some questions. Should children be granted the same rights as an adult? We also had to share our thoughts about some facts about what is happening to some children. Like here is one of them: “15% of the world`s children are engaged in child labour.” That means children are forced to work in factories! I hope you enjoyed reading this post!!!

It was pretty easy participating in We Are Silent!

I wanted to participate in We Are Silent, but Robert Andrews doesn't do Unicef and Be The Change and everything. It's kinda sad and I want to start it up here!
