Our trainer Noel introduced the Lyfta globe and showed the students where we would be visiting. Together we travelled to Norway and explored Anna's bedroom and the rooftop overlooking the fjords, through the 360° spaces on the platform.
Students immediately had lots of questions about what they could see and hear in the spaces. They wanted to know what all the trophies were for, why the ball had writing on it and who might live in such a tidy, football-themed room…
After exploring the 360° spaces, we clicked on Anna to bring her story to life in a short documentary film. Students watched Anna run alongside fjords and in the shadow of mountains as she prepared for the competition. Together, we saw how Anna had to manage her emotions as the tournament progressed and led to penalties (something students may well experience if supporting teams in the World Cup!) We saw together how coping with disappointment is all part of the game.
Students discussed the film in their classrooms and some brave children came on screen to share their thoughts on what they had seen.
