Mimi and her family, that present language in an

engaging and enjoyable context.

their own age using the target language in an

authentic context.

• Social and emotional learning: Big Wheel puts

children’s wellbeing at the heart of learning. Values

lessons, reinforced through catchy songs to sing

and act out, help children develop the social and

emotional skills that prepare them for the wider world.

• Flexible, easy-to-use projects: carefully staged projects

introduce pupils to aspects of cooperative learning

and encourage creativity and personalisation while

using the language learned in each unit.

• Classroom management made simple:

lessons with minimum preparation.
