At the end of this unit
most pupils: understand what it is to be an active citizen with rights and responsibilities. They recognise the importance of rules and democratic decision-making at school, at home and in their communities. They investigate and discuss issues of current concern in school and in the wider community. They contribute to small-group and class discussions and debates.
some pupils have not made so much progress and: understand in simple terms what rights and responsibilities are. They understand the connection between these and rules at home and in their school communities. They understand some basic ideas about why we have rules and what makes communities fair. They contribute to discussions.
some pupils have progressed further and: use the terms 'rights', 'responsibilities' and 'community' with confidence and accuracy, comparing how these concepts operate in the different communities to which they belong. They discuss these concepts in relation to issues of current local and national concern. They identify and discuss the tensions between the rights of individuals and the community and understand the essential values that underpin democratic communities. They make considered contributions to group and whole-class discussion and debates.
