Every Lyfta Storyworld offers opportunities for pupils to discover something new, connect with another person’s experience and reflect on their own thinking.
Our pupil voice and reflection templates help you capture these moments, giving pupils space to express what they noticed, felt, learnt and are still wondering about.
How does this link to Lyfta’s Theory of Learning?
Lyfta’s Theory of Learning recognises the importance of immersive engagement, emotional connection, curiosity and reflection in developing understanding.
Capturing pupil voice throughout this learning journey helps make pupils’ thinking visible:
During and after exploration: What did pupils notice? What sparked their curiosity? What assumptions or questions emerged?
During and after the encounter: What did they learn from the person’s story? Which moments stayed with them? How did they connect with another perspective?
During and after reflection: Has their thinking changed? What connections can they make? What questions or actions might they take forward?
How can I use the templates?
We have created primary and secondary pupil voice templates to help pupils record their responses to individual Storyworlds, alongside half-term reflection sheets.
The individual Storyworld templates can be completed after each Lyfta experience, allowing pupils to revisit their initial thoughts and reflect on what they have learnt.
At the end of a half term, pupils can look back across their experiences, identify connections between stories and consider how their understanding has developed.
These reflections can also provide teachers with useful evidence of pupils’ learning, curiosity and developing perspectives over time.
