Making Learning Move

Every lesson should have a rhythm — a natural flow that carries children from curiosity to understanding. Lesson Flow helps teachers design learning that moves with the child’s energy and attention, rather than against it.

​

​

FOCUS — Whole-Body Ready

• Wriggle out the squiggles!

• Movement and rhythm activate thinking and prepare the whole child  for learning.

• Grounded in what learners already know.

• This short, energising start helps children settle, self-regulate, and get ready for what lies ahead. 

• ⏰ Timing: 7–10 minutes

​

LEARN — Collaborate & Create

• This is the heart of teaching and learning.

• The teacher becomes the guide on the side and the meddler in the middle.

• Learners explore ideas together, problem-solve in peer groups, and make meaning through discovery.

• It is also where small focus groups come alive.

• This gives the teacher a chance to connect and differentiate learning.

• ⏰ Timing: 15–20 minutes

​

OPEN — Question & Explore

• Learners investigate, test, and connect concepts across subjects.

• Bring PRIME Maths and Story THREAD to life through projects, enquiry, and expressive learning.

• ⏰ Timing: 15–20 minutes, however, this phase is flexible.

• Once a project or question has been “opened,” learners can continue exploring at other times of the day.

​

WRAP — Reboot, Recalibrate & Re-energise

• Look back: Reflect on the lesson’s beginning — what did we do in our focus zone?

• Celebrate: Share “what stuck” and acknowledge small wins.

• Build on it: Add new lines, actions, or ideas to songs, stories, or activities already learned.

• Reset: Calm the body, clear the mind, and prepare for the next activity, lesson, or break.

• Quick & Powerful: A focused 5-minute close that leaves children ready, settled, and energised. 

• ⏰ Timing: Quickfire 5 min
