LYFTA
We have managed to secure a Trust wide subscription for this platform for all our KS2 pupils. Currently there is no access for EYs or KS1 pupils or log ins for those staff, however some of the material may be suitable if scrutinised first and will probably be shared through the use of the 'storyworlds' in particular as a rich resource to support assembly schedules.
Lyfta is an award-winning immersive learning platform where teachers can easily build or curate powerful, interactive and curriculum-aligned lessons that bring learning to life.
Lyfta helps educators to engage and inspire digitally-native children and young people; foster critical skills and values for navigating our changing world; and broaden horizons by giving children and young people opportunities to see beyond their everyday realities.
Lyfta invites students to experience different cultures and perspectives. It gives them the opportunity to see and connect with positive human stories from around the world - modelling resilience, problem-solving, teamwork, and many other critical skills, values and competencies.
Lyfta helps teachers nurture the global citizens of tomorrow.
This has been allocated as a considerable chunk of our diversity and inclusion budget as we feel that it supports the further embedding of this crucial aspect of our curriculum. We will be looking to see that it has become a part of the planned curriculum, especially for foundation subjects and through the drivers and that the resources are being used to best advantaged.
Please share any examples of including this in your planning, work generated from the platform, good practice and generally the impact of the resources with me and I will then share more widely.
Please explore the platform yourselves using the log ins sent by their training team or by speaking to your KS2 colleagues who accessed the initial training/information sharing module.
