In Social Studies, my group and I are working on human rights. We have learnt so many new things, for example, there are that many human rights no one can remember all of them.
The most interesting thing I learned, was that one person's word can change how people treat others as an influence. Our work is about human rights and how it impacts us. It links to our story we are reading in class, the story of Iqbal.
