Community helpers - Sally Hewitt

Community Helpers shows Citizenship in practice as the children of Branscombe School in Devon organise and take part in many projects for their local community. They organise several money-raising events to build up a community fund, they plant an orchard to celebrate the Millennium, and they invite all the local senior citizens to a Harvest Lunch. The book shows the children working together, setting goals, expressing and explaining themselves, making decisions and developing skills - all requirements of the Citizenship curriculum.
