The Crew Interviews are short pieces of video footage of crew talking about their experience volunteering for the RNLI. This supports Citizenship and PSHE, focusing on the role of a volunteer, and the bravery of our crew members. This is also supported within Video Corner. There will be an ongoing process of adding new footage to these sections.
The Virtual Tour takes a 360° look around a Severn Class lifeboat, and is a useful tool to support learning about the RNLI in general, but also D & T and Science, when linked to the Build a Lifeboat activity.
Dealing with Loss addresses the tragic reality of the danger that the sea presents. The RNLI rescues 4 young people every day, but sadly there are some people who still die every year. This area directs both adults and young people towards some very helpful sites specialising in the loss of a loved one or friend, and gives some general advice.
Meet a Crew Member posts real crew member interviews about their experiences, and may help to answer many of the questions about the RNLI that pupils have. It serves to support Citizenship/PSHE in the same way as the Crew Interview videos.
The Ask Us Forum deals with frequently asked questions about the RNLI, and also allows pupils to email in other questions. This will support study of the RNLI.
On the Adults and Teachers section of the site, you are able to download not only lesson plans, but also other materials to support your teaching. The bank of lesson plans are clearly divided into Key Stages, and will be added to on an ongoing basis.
Further resources to support teaching and learning are available in the free, orderable section, including resource packs for Citizenship at Key Stages 2 & 3.
