Using fun images, open-ended discussions, and a short video, students learn the journey of a phone call: voice → sound waves → electricity → signals → towers/satellites → friend’s phone → sound again. Activities include drawing, a True/False game, and imaginative thinking (e.g., calling from the moon). Homework asks students to interview a family member about old phones. Revision focuses on sequencing the call journey.

Science Ages 7-9 Class 1: 22 July 2026 at 05:35:00 Class 2 : 23 July 2026 at 05:35:00 Class 3: 23 July 2026 at 10:05:00 Class 4 : 25 July 2026 at 10:05:00 This engaging lesson transforms children into dinosaur detectives. We explore what "extinct" means and discover how we know dinosaurs existed through fossils and paleontologists. We investigate the main theories for their extinction: massive volcanic eruptions and a giant asteroid impact. Children learn how these events blocked sunlight, killed plants, and broke the food chain, causing the dinosaurs to disappear. We also discover that not everything died—small mammals survived, and remarkably, birds are actually living descendants of dinosaurs! The lesson develops critical thinking, scientific curiosity, and listening skills through discussion, video observation, and a fun guessing game. Science Ages 7-9 Class 1: 24 July 2026 at 05:35:00 Class 2 : 24 July 2026 at 10:05:00 Class 3: 25 July 2026 at 05:35:00 Class 4 : This fascinating lesson answers one of childhood's biggest questions. We discover that stars do not actually twinkle in space—it is our atmosphere that causes the effect! Children learn that hot and cold air mix together, creating swirling "turbulence" that bumps and bends starlight as it travels through Earth's atmospheric blanket. This wobbling light is what we call twinkling. We also explore why planets shine steadily (they appear as disks, not tiny points) and how clever astronomers use space telescopes and lasers to fix the twinkling problem. The lesson develops scientific enquiry, observation skills, and critical thinking through experiments, discussion and art observation. Geography Ages 10-13 Class 1: 14 July 2026 at 06:30:00 Class 2 : 14 July 2026 at 09:15:00 Class 3: 18 July 2026 at 14:30:00 Class 4 : In this interactive 45-minute lesson, level students explore global ecosystems by learning how climate, flora, and diverse landscapes work together to decode the world. Through key insights and thought-provoking discussions, students compare distinct environments like rainforests and deserts while discovering how adaptation and environmental balance act as both life-saving shields and natural marvels. The lesson concludes with a revision challenge and a creative biome project homework mission. Science, Animals Ages 4-6 Class 1: 15 July 2026 at 05:00:00 Class 2 : 16 July 2026 at 05:00:00 Class 3: 18 July 2026 at 09:25:00 Class 4 : In this vibrant 30-minute lesson, young learners dive into the colourful world of "Commotion in the Ocean" to discover the unique movements and sounds of sea creatures.

Based on the book "What If You Had Animal Teeth?", it explores how different animals use their unique teeth to survive. Through engaging visuals and open-ended questions, children practise descriptive vocabulary and compare animal features to their own. The lesson emphasises the importance of dental hygiene, teaching them why human teeth are perfectly suited for our needs. It wraps up with a creative craft homework task to reinforce the learning in a fun, practical way. Science Ages 7-9 Class 1: 21 July 2026 at 05:35:00 Class 2 : 21 July 2026 at 10:05:00 Class 3: 25 July 2026 at 13:35:00 Class 4 : This engaging lesson explores the fascinating world of dreams with your child. We discover what dreams are, why we have them (our brain sorting memories), and common dream themes like flying, being a hero, and talking animals. Children learn that dreams can make us feel happy, confused, or scared—but nightmares are not real. We create a magical class dream together, encouraging imagination and creative thinking. For homework, your child keeps a "Dream Journal" – they draw any dreams they remember. This develops emotional awareness, vocabulary and creative expression whilst exploring the science behind sleep. Science, Health Ages 10-13 Class 1: 22 July 2026 at 18:30:00 Class 2 : 22 July 2026 at 11:00:00 Class 3: 25 July 2026 at 06:30:00 Class 4 : This delightful lesson explores the science and joy behind laughter. Children discover that we laugh for many reasons—not just at jokes! We laugh when tickled, when being silly, when surprised, and even when feeling nervous. We learn that laughter is highly social; we laugh more with friends and family. Babies laugh too, showing that laughter is something we are born with. Fascinatingly, laughter releases endorphins, acts as a natural painkiller, and even animals like chimpanzees laugh! The lesson develops emotional awareness, social understanding and communication skills. For homework, children keep a "Laughter Diary" to observe and record what makes them laugh.
