Introduction

This scheme of work is a carefully curated learning journey designed to progressively help your pupils become critical thinkers, responsible media creators, and positive changemakers in society. It goes beyond basic online safety to cover how young people find, understand, create, and use media and information in ways that empower them and connect them to the world.

How It Works

• 21 fully resourced lessons are provided in the archive, covering all five domains of the First News Primary MILA Framework. • A new lesson is published fortnightly, linked to current news stories from First News. Each lesson in this scheme has a unique learning objective that maps to a selection of framework statements, supporting pupils to build practical skills and critical understanding. The complete scheme (three levels) is designed to be engaging, interactive, and child-appropriate for ages 7-14.
