Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing support:
- Should use the Resource: Feelings icons to select and name a feeling before explaining what might cause it.
- Could share their ideas quietly with an adult or record them in the wonder box to enable participation without speaking publicly.
- Could use a sentence stem such as ‘I feel ___ when…’ to help them describe their ideas.
Pupils working at greater depth:
- Should use the terms ‘worried’, ‘annoyed’ and ‘upset’ accurately when describing feelings.
- Should explain that different people may feel differently in the same situation by describing another person’s perspective.
- Could extend the Activity: Feelings rainbow by suggesting more than one strategy that could help someone feel better.
