Pupils needing extra support

Should, during the letter-writing activity, complete this in a pair or small group and focus on a topic such as education or the environment or any topic that they feel most confident in or have direct experience with; could complete the letter verbally using voice-recording software or in the format of a video, instead of writing.

Pupils working at greater depth
