Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing support:
- Could use the Resource: Sleepy spot the difference to identify differences by circling or pointing to changes.
- Could use the Resource: Food word mat to support vocabulary by referring to descriptive words (for example, soft, juicy, sweet) when orally describing their fruit or vegetable.
- Could begin the Activity: Food sorting with one teacher-modelled category (for example, fruit and vegetables) before independently sorting into additional groups.
Pupils working at greater depth:
- Should justify their food groupings during the Activity: Food sorting by explaining the rule for their grouping.
- Should describe at least one health benefit of eating a variety of fruit and vegetables, linking their explanation to vitamins, energy or staying strong.
- Could compare two different sorting methods and explain which one best helps someone make healthy choices.
