Charity Fundraising Days

I just thought I'd flag up a few charity fundraising days that take place during the next few months...

Red Nose Day - Friday 16th March 2007

I'm sure I don't actually need to mention that "The Big One" is coming soon. However Comic Relief does produce some superb web resources that occasionally teachers miss out on because the information about them isn't passed on. There's absolutely loads of new teaching material on the Red Nose Day website this year.Don't forget to visit the excellent PaPaPaa Fairtrade Resources site as well. One thing I do wish Comic Relief would do is archive some of the past resources. I was particularly fond of the 2005 material which worked well with my Year 3 class.

Friendship Friday - Friday 25th May 2007

I wrote about Save the Children's Friendship Friday last year in the blog. It's the fundraising day associated with the excellent School Link website which allows students to find out what life is like for children in China and Pakistan. Unlike some other fundraising days, Friendship Friday is quite easy to set up and can fits in well with normal curriculum work in Geography and PHSE. Why not pop along to the site and register your school to get full access to the web resources?
