SPCA's Resources for Schools have been designed for primary and intermediate school teachers looking for innovative resources that provide real life, meaningful contexts for teaching and learning with the New Zealand Curriculum. 

If you’d like to connect with like-minded kaiako and educators, get inspiration, gain support from others, and share what your tamariki have created and learnt, why not join our private Facebook group SPCA NZ Education Community.

 

 

What's New or Coming Soon!

 

We’re diving into an important topic: plastic pollution. Students will explore how plastic waste impacts animals, and their habitats. They’ll learn some everyday choices they can make to help protect animals, both in the ocean and on land.

We 'meet' an inspiring 12-year-old pawesome supporter who, despite facing her own serious health challenges, is dedicated to helping animals in need.

But that’s not all! Inside, you’ll find a colouring competition, an article on SPCA Fiji, wordsearch, sudoku, craft ideas and the latest SPCA Kids’ News.

Add this newsletter to your reading task board or school library today!

Kind Matters

Aligned with the key theme of our Term 1 issue of Kind Matters, this colouring competition offers your students a chance to express their creativity while exploring the impacts of plastic pollution. It’s also a great way to help reinforce the everyday kind conservation actions they can take to help protect animals and their habitats.

Use it as a fun end-of-week activity, a rainy-day option, take-home task or even as a reward for pawesome learning about plastic pollution and conservation.

 

Closes Sunday 27th April 2025 and there are some fab prizes to be won!
