Finally, in Curious Kids we support collaboration through the
development of social and emotional learning (SEL), a process that helps
learners to develop their self-control, self-awareness, and interpersonal
skills. Social and emotional learning is nurtured through the unit stories.
These stories resonate with children and provide rich opportunities for
discussion, with pupils first reflecting on the course characters’ behaviour
and then being gently guided into thinking about their own.

Who’s who in Curious Kids


Let us introduce you to the Curious Kids course characters! Course characters are important because they help pupils to build an emotional connection
with the topics, guide learners through the materials, and model positive learning traits and behaviour such as curiosity and creativity.
Meet the sisters Grace and Daisy, their friend Jack and their cousin Toby. The children have wonderful and exciting adventures together.
The delightful and funny Sam takes the children into a delightful fantasy world where anything can happen!
When the children open their rucksack, magic is triggered, transforming the rucksack into Sam the squirrel.
Emma and Jake are two seven-year-old British friends. These curious children explore the world
around them and share what they find out through a video. They also introduce pupils to life in
The UK, providing insights into their daily life and their favourite traditions and cultural activities.

Suggestions on how to make the most of the lesson are also included in
every unit. These range from ideas on how to extend activities, to notes
on relevant aspects of British culture, or social emotional learning and
real world tasks that you can try with your pupils.

Incorporating Learning situations in your lesson planning


If not explored throughout the unit, the end-of-unit project is a great moment to apply a learning situation or problem-based learning approach. Ideas for topics
to explore are included in the Teacher’s Resource Centre. This is signalled in the teaching notes for the project lessons.
