Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support

  • Could refer to the Resource: Knowledge organiser to recall and use key vocabulary throughout the lesson.
  • Could have their own copy of the Resource: Priya’s ups and downs and draw up or down arrows to show her mood instead of stepping forward/back.
  • Could give verbal responses instead of writing when answering the questions on the Presentation: Choices in the Main event.
  • Could use the Resource: Sentence starters when sharing three ways to care for their mind and body in the Wrapping up.

Pupils working at greater depth

  • Should use examples from the story Priya’s ups and downs to explain how physical factors can influence feelings by linking events, such as being tired, eating lunch or being active, to changes in her mood.
  • Could suggest a change Priya could make in the future (e.g. remembering her water bottle) when exploring how her choices affect her mood.
  • Should explain how a body scan can help look after a person’s body and mind.
