The Global Learning Festival is an exciting 3-day event hosted by Education Perfect.

The event encourages engagement and learning within English, Mathematics & Science through friendly competition and an array of fun, interactive learning activities.  

When is the event?

The Festival will be open from Tuesday 3 October (12 pm SGT) until Thursday 5 October (12 pm SGT) 2023.

Students can participate as much or as little as they like. Students will be prompted to answer questions from the competition content folder labelled Learning Festival. 

Content will include questions from the following subject areas:

• English (first language)
• Maths 
• Science

Who can take part?

Schools subscribing to Education Perfect (outside of Australia and New Zealand) are warmly invited to participate and will be invited via email. If you have not received an invite, please reach out to our team.

The challenge is best suited to learners in Key Stage 3, however, younger and older learners may also enjoy the challenge, and are very welcome to take part! 

How do students compete?

Students will need an account to participate which can be set up by following our guide.

• Students will log in to EP, and complete any of the English, Maths and/or Science activities that have been selected for the competition.
• Students can choose to complete activities from 1, 2 or all 3 subject areas.
• Students earn points for correct answers regardless of lesson difficulty or subject. The more questions they complete, the more points they earn! 

How much time will it require?

We know that teaching schedules are jam-packed, which is why we've designed this competition to be as flexible as possible. You do not need to allocate class time to take part, and there is no minimum amount of time required. 

There is also no need for any prior teaching or specific preparation required for the event. 

What content is included?

Content will include questions from the following subject areas:

• English (first language)
• Maths 
• Science

Our specialist English, Maths and Science teams here at EP have carefully curated a range of topics designed to be both enjoyable and engaging for students in Key Stage 3. 

Each topic contains a number of interactive lessons with a variety of question types, instant feedback & model answers (where appropriate). As a teacher, you could either guide your students toward particular topics - or let them independently choose what content to engage with! 

Please note you can find this content within the subjects English, Mathematics & Science under the folder 'Learning Festival 3-5 October'

The topics are as follows:

How could I run this event with my students?

You could:

• Allocate one or more of your English and/or Maths lessons to the Festival and guide students towards specific content (ie revision materials from recent topics); 
• Assign the Festival as a fun homework activity for your students.
• Run the Festival as an extra-curricular event, and offer time for students to participate during lunchtime and/or after school.

Some teachers like to offer additional in-school rewards, such as House Points or Merits, to encourage friendly competition and boost student participation.

How can I support my students?

Encourage them to get involved! The best way to support them is to help them to log in, then keep an eye on the scoreboard and cheer them on.
