That’s why, today, we wanted to explore the many ways you can use EducationCity’s variety of learning resources in your lessons. With over 7,000 resources on EducationCity that can be used flexibly alongside your teaching, there’s plenty of room for new learning adventures!
We’ll be going through some ideas of how you can use the EducationCity resource for a Year 2 class on punctuation, a Year 4 addition class, a Year 2 lesson on plants and a class on e-safety for Year 5.
We hope these give you a number of ideas for new learning journeys, as well as help you see how EducationCity can be used in lessons, and save you time with your lesson planning too because everything is pre-prepared!
