WE Bake for Change Primary Lesson Package for Scotland

Changing the world? It’s a piece of cake. Raise awareness in your school with our WE Bake for Change lesson plans. Look beyond the supermarket shelves and ask pupils to map out the field to shelf journey of chocolate. Pupils can spread the word and apply their knowledge by holding a WE Bake for Change cake sale that will boost their impact as world changers by fundraising to support Free The Children’s WE Villages' communities through our Food Pillar.

This lesson package has been designed to meet the Experiences and Outcomes set out in Curriculum for Excellence. It follows the principles of “Getting it Right for Every Child” (GIRFEC) by developing the promotion and support of the eight Well-being Indicators. Where possible, Scottish resources and references have been used to ensure it is relevant to young people in Scotland today. Each lesson in the package is organised into starters, main activities and plenaries, with suggestions for differentiation. Clear learning objectives and success criteria following Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning ensure progression within each lesson and the package as a whole.

These lessons develop many aspects of character education with a holistic and tangible approach, encompassing local and global social awareness and action, and empowering young people to make positive changes in the world around them.
