Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support:
- Could use the scenarios from Resource: Unprepared to support their understanding of the impacts of being unprepared.
- Could use the Resource: Ready for the weather to support choosing and naming suitable clothing and items that the characters need to be prepared.
- Could use real objects and role play (trying on a coat, hat or choosing a water bottle) so they can link choices to what happens in daily life rather than abstract rules.
Pupils working at greater depth:
- Should refer to specific health outcomes (e.g. sunburn, overheating, catching colds) when suggesting what the characters need to be prepared for, demonstrating an understanding that there are short and long-term consequences to being unprepared.
- Could suggest other clothing or objects the characters could take with them to demonstrate their understanding (e.g. a camping chair for Nina).
