Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: May need more time to discuss what the missing image should look like before drawing.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should try the challenging extension task and consider what they would program the rocket to do. Should use appropriate vocabulary, e.g. program, algorithmAn algorithm is a clear set of instructions to carry out a task. …, etc.
