Our topic this term is called ‘Helping and Giving in Our Community.’ This will involve discussing local charities and projects that help different people in our community.

P3FS are organising the Blythswood Shoebox Appeal for Lochardil Primary School. We will also be carrying out a fundraising project to raise money for a charity of our choice. The pupils will be working on their team work and decision making skills throughout this project.  We hope to learn more about the Lochardil community and communities in other countries.

Here are some of our questions:

Which countries do charities help? (Pupil)

How does the Blythswood Shoebox Appeal work and who does it help? (Pupil)

What is “water aid”? (Pupil)

Who are the people that are ‘in need’? (Teacher)

What help is there in the Lochardil community? (Teacher)

How do we make informed decisions? (Teacher)

If anyone has any ideas that would help us to learn more about our topic, then please let us know!
