Friendship Friday, on 25 May 2007, is our annual fundraising day for schools giving children in primary schools the opportunity to celebrate friendship.
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 two 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.
The website offers teachers a free resource including downloadable lesson plans and creative methods for teaching upper primary curriculum subjects such as Citizenship & PSHE, Geography and Literacy (Environmental Studies, ICT, Education for Citizenship in Scotland and PSE & ICT in Wales).
"Friendships are special and it’s important to celebrate them. Last years Friendship Friday was a great success with over 300 schools taking part. Get involved for your chance to join the fun and get access to the brilliant School Link resource."
Lorna Redden, Schools Development Manager, Save the Children
