Article of the Week is a regular set of learning activities centred on a specific article.
This flexible resource is intended to provide easy-to-use, rights-related learning for primary and secondary learners, their families and your colleagues. There is no expectation that you will do a pack each week in school, this flexible resource is intended for you to refer to as you need it. Always check the content before sharing with your learners.
If your pupils produce any creative work from this, please share on the RRSA Facebook community group, or on Twitter using hashtag #RRSA.
