Over the past few years we’ve been focused on establishing our partnerships with the community schools we work alongside in Zambia. As a part of that journey we have helped build classrooms, toilet blocks and kitchens, as well as effectively launch feeding programmes at each of the schools.
With the basic school needs now being met, recent months have seen a shift in our focus to the quality of teaching and learning at the schools. We feel strongly that we don’t just want to offer these children an education but to offer them a quality education that will go on to provide them with real opportunities in the future. One of our main areas for development is literacy, but more on that another time!
Right now there is a huge lack of resource for the younger children at the schools and so it is with much delight we can announce the plan to create an Early Years Outdoor Learning Area in the next few months at two of the schools!
We are BEYOND excited!
Areas like this are standard here in UK schools and nurseries and are known to be invaluable in children’s learning and development.
The very first pencil plan looks a little like this:
But already the plans are growing and becoming more creative and we can’t wait to share more of this with you in the coming weeks!
