Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Give these pupils the shakers to play as they don’t specifically need to hold the rhythm or have them focus on the ‘Chewy Toffee’ rhythm.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should play the more challenging rhythm ‘Jumping Around’ and stick to the pulse, helping to guide other pupils so that they all stay in time.
