Get Involved - Resources for Primary Schools to accompany the Get School Started Campaign

Jungle Expedition Challenge
Numeracy group work activities encouraging your class to consider ‘need’ and ‘want’. Can you keep within your budget to kit yourselves out for your expedition into the Indian jungle? Is 245 rupees enough to get the weekly shopping?

Design a Brick!
Get creative and design your own ‘brick’ for the Wings of Hope School. Can be used to build a colourful classroom display, as part of your fundraising activities or as a hands-on method of raising awareness about the ‘Get School Started’ campaign in your class.
‘Get School Started’ Events Posters
Get your class involved in designing Get School Started and Wings of Hope posters using this poster template. You could even use the best ones (or all of them!) to advertise your fundraising events!
Creative Letter Writing
This activity encourages your class to practice their letter writing skills with two variations to suit differing ability/age levels. Either write a letter to Ram, an eight year old boy living in India about to enrol in an English school, or imagine you are a child living and going to school in India writing about your experiences of school and life in India.
