Friendship Friday and School Link
Save the Children's fundraising day for primary schools is Friday 25th May this year. Friendship Friday is a day for children to learn about
their peers around the world, fundraise for them and explore
friendships.
All schools wishing to take part will receive a pack containing friendship activities, fundraising ideas and, if they would like, blank friendship fun-bands to decorate. Schools that take part and send in donations will be offered the chance to make global friends through Save the Children's School Link resource as well the chance to win a visit from children's author and illustrator Nick Sharratt and Blue Peter presenter Konnie Huq.
School Link, is a web-based key stage 2 resource that uses the real life of children living in both Pakistan and China as the focus for the learning, gives pupils the chance to explore the everyday lives of similar aged children, helping them to discover what it's like to be a child in another country. Included on the website are stories, interactive games, facts and photographs from the countries.
There are also free resources including downloadable lesson plans and creative methods for teaching upper primary curriculum subjects such as Citizenship & PSHE, Geography, ICT and Literacy once you have signed up.
