Lyfta
Lyfta: Mrs H Ball
We enable children to understand the world around them to create a more empathetic and connected world. We make learning relevant, engaging, and meaningful for our children, helping them develop critical skills and values to support them in their futures. Our children feel a deep sense of connection, understanding and belonging to a global community whilst considering and understanding cultural and religious backgrounds which are similar and different to theirs.
How we teach Lyfta | When we teach Lyfta | Why we teach Lyfta the way we do |
Lyfta is an online platform which enables children and teachers to access over 80 immersive storyworlds with 1000+ film, multimedia learning resources, integgrated lesson and assemblies. Children are exposed to story worlds following characters who live in different regions and countries - they hold specific jobs linked to sustainability and children can explore the parts of the story world they wish - they will visit them at home, they will discuss what they see in their native country and will then address issues that the children feel are the most important. | We teach Lyfta once a week on a Friday morning during assembly time. Children are the divisors of their own lessons and this lesson allows for much conversation, challenging one another's opinions and building on what we already know. | We want to develop inquisitive and curious minds and by teaching Lyfta as we do our children can choose the area of the lesson they wish to investigate. The children can pose questions, explore countries, look for similarities and differences to their own lives in a safe environment. Children know that they are expected to voice their own opinions and listen to others respectfully. |
