WE Volunteer Now Primary Lesson Package

WE Volunteer Now is a package of lessons that teaches pupils that no matter what their gifts and talents are, they can use them to take action in their local community. By linking pupils’ gifts to issues that they feel passionately about, they can be empowered to make a positive change in
the world around them. From reducing litter to helping to combat local hunger, pupils will see how different people have used their gifts to bring about change and how they can do the same.

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 and SMSC 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.
