Explore lesson materials
Click into your topic of choice and then choose your year group to access the teaching and learning materials.
Once in the lesson, the first tab will have the overview video for that topic and year group.
Videos are child-led and explore a wide range of animated and real-life scenarios. You can use the videos in a variety of ways to best suit your needs, for example to introduce the topic, stimulate discussion or distance learning so that pupils can relate back to a real-life situation without it being about their own lives.
Following the video, there are three lessons, each with a specific theme and progressing from the one before.
Presentations help you deliver the lesson and use real-world imagery to illustrate examples. As all presentations are created using our Studio tool, it's easy for you to personalise these lessons for the specific needs of your class.
Worksheets support the classroom activities and help children explore, discuss and express their thoughts.
