- Could practise saying a model sentence aloud, for example: ‘Before bed I read a story’.
Pupils working at greater depth:
- Should justify their chosen bedtime routine by explaining how each step helps them fall asleep or sleep well when completing their storyboard.
- Should suggest one improvement to Jayden’s routine and explain why this change would improve his sleep quality.
- Could compare two bedtime routines by identifying one similarity and one difference in how they support good sleep.
