Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Can be given the Activity: Road Building Song lyrics if they have trouble following the lyrics on the interactive whiteboard. Might be more confident if given the simplest part in the vocal warm-up activity in the Main event. Pair these pupils with a more confident talk partner for the listening activity in the Main event.
Pupils working at greater depth: Group these children together on the more challenging part in the vocal warm-up activity. Ask these pupils to pair up with less confident pupils and explain the musical concepts to them during the listening activity.
