Adaptive teaching
Pupils who need support:
- Could use the Resource: Knowledge organiser for vocabulary throughout the lesson.
- Could use actions instead of full verbal explanations to show their understanding, such as pointing to a picture of a trusted adult; showing ‘T’ for trusted adult and a hand for 999 emergency.
- Could use the pictures from the Resource: Trusted adults as prompts when completing the Activity: Who can help?
Pupils working at greater depth:
- Should be prompted to think of more than one trusted adult in some settings during the Attention grabber and the Activity: Who can help? in the Main event.
- Could be encouraged to make links back to Lesson 4, for example: ‘If my tummy feels funny in the classroom, I can tell my teacher and say: “Something’s wrong.”’.
- Could be asked follow-up questions in the class discussion during the Activity: Who can help?: Why is this not a 999 emergency? What could the trusted adult do to help before anyone calls 999?
- Could be challenged to think of a simple new situation and say: where it happens, which trusted adult they could tell and one help phrase they might use. For example: ‘At my friend’s house, if I felt scared, I could tell my friend’s mum. I could say: “I feel scared, can you help me?”’.
