Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Morpion game will work best if the children are organised in mixed ability pairs, or play with a small group versus the teacher. Use fingers for counting to support visually, counting up from 1 each time.
Pupils working at greater depth: challenge them to write a note back to Amélie with a greeting, their name, age and where they live.
