SAS deliver first school the first SAS primary schools environmental resource

Clean water campaigners, Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) visited the countries first (geographically speaking!) primary school on Friday the 10th of May in Sennen, near Lands End in Cornwall.

We launched our new ONLINE and FREE Key Stage 2 (KS2) school's resource that covers English, Science, Geography and Citizenship. The resource, designed with cool, animated characters is called Save Our Seas (SOS) is now live and can be used by all at www.sas.org.uk/education/sos

SOS is designed to help raise children's awareness of environmental issues through a series of planned activities, quizzes and games written by an experienced educationalist. They are accompanied by a comprehensive set of teacher's notes ensuring that everybody gets the most out of this free resource.

Whilst aimed at years 4, 5 and 6 (KS2), many of the activities could easily be adapted for year 3 or even year 7 children. Once again SAS has made learning cool. The emphasis is on entertainment and enjoyment, with broad humour running throughout the animated materials, children can't fail to learn from this.

The kids at Sennen Primary School were very excited to meet SAS campaigns and the star of SOS, Duffy the dolphin, who turn up and deliver an assembly. They had some great campaign questions and loved the look of the animated recourses, promising to check it out that day!

Andy Cummins, SAS Campaign Officer says: "The Save Our Seas KS2 resource compliments a great education section at SAS. It's free for everyone, it's fun and we want everyone to use it! Prevention is better than a cure, and by educating the kids of today we are hoping they can prevent environmental problems of tomorrow".

Eric Dargent, Rip Curl Environment Manager says: "We are stoked to be able to carry on supporting SAS's environmental education program. After the success of Operation Beach Clean for KS3 we jumped at the chance of helping with Save Our Seas. Armed with SAS's information, today's young surfers will be tomorrow's beach guardians"!
