Schools
Children love to learn about other children. One of our team would be delighted to visit your school to share about the challenges facing Street Kids. We have even developed creative, engaging resources for Primary Schools in conjunction with the NI curriculum (KS2: PDMU & The World about us). We compare and contrast the lives of pupils here at home with those of Street Kids in Ethiopia. We examine topics such as charity shops, creative recycling, values etc.
Created by Teachers for Teachers
We believe the days of visiting schools and leaving colouring in sheets behind are long gone. Recognising the pressures teachers face to fulfil the all the requirements of the NI KS2 curriculum we asked teachers to work closely with us to produce engaging and interactive resources for KS2.
The resulting resources are available free to all Primary schools and work best when combined with a visit from our team who really bring the resources to life with first hand stories from the Street Kids the resources are sharing about. See the video below to gain a flavour of what the resources are like.
As well as offering the KS 2 resources, we are of course very happy to take assemblies, SU classes in both primary and secondary level schools.
"Our P5’s absolutely loved Hope365’s visits and were so enthusiastic to help” Mrs B Stirling, Whiteabbey Primary School
“The year 8's were so enthused after the presentation that they asked to keep Hope365 as their year groups charity throughout their time in the school.” Emma Bothwell, RE Ballyclare Secondary School
All for One
The All for One campaign all started with an innocent question from an 8 year old boy who was shocked and disheartened to see that children his age and even younger were sleeping on the streets in Ethiopia. Isaac from North Belfast saw these photos and simply asked his dad why everyone in Northern Ireland couldn’t just give a small amount of £1, so that it would all add up to help the kids into a bed and safe place to sleep, rather than having to sleep on the streets.
Experience has shown us that children love to learn about their peers in other parts of the world. When the contrasts are as stark as they are with Street Kids in Ethiopia, then the interest levels soar!
With the help of teachers, we have produced exciting new resources in conjunction with the N.I. curriculum for Key Stage 2, which run alongside the All for One campaign. You can preview them here, then contact us at info@hope365.life to request the full resources straight to your inbox.
These resources are optimised for iPad and have also been adapted for use on Seesaw and Google Classroom. Whatever the platform just email us to request a link to these completely free resources. Watch the video below for a quick run-through of what we have to offer.
