Lyfta seamlessly integrates with your existing curriculum, enriching lessons across various subjects and supporting personal development goals. It’s designed not as an ‘add-on’ but as a complementary resource that embeds into teaching plans to amplify educational impact.
Outlined below are the two most common ways that schools and trusts utilise our storyworlds:
1. Supporting Personal Development:
Schools often use Lyfta’s storyworlds to elevate their personal development offerings, focusing on areas such as sustainability, British Values, or specific school values. A common approach is to dedicate a weekly 20+ minute slot during assemblies, form time, or PSHE lessons, allowing students to engage with immersive stories that foster a sense of global awareness and empathy.
2. Enhancing Subject-Specific Learning:
Lyfta brings National Curriculum topics to life by showcasing real-world applications of the knowledge and skills being taught in class. All lesson plans are mapped to the National Curriculum, you can see these listed within the lesson plans. A few examples of how our community utilises storyworlds to enhance their subjects:
Geography: Take virtual field trips to diverse locations, sparking curiosity about the world.
Art and Music: Explore artistic expressions and cultural traditions from various regions.
Religious Education: Gain insights into different faiths and belief systems.
Global Education: Develop a deeper understanding of global issues and connections and the impact on people across the world
