Pupils needing extra support 

Could re-listen to the story on the Presentation: The story of Guru Nanak’s birth while following the Resource: The story of Guru Nanak’s birth: audio transcript, using adult-led reading or paired listening to help them recall the key events and understand what made Guru Nanak special as a baby; could match some the word cards from the Activity: Guru Nanak’s birth to the word ‘special’ instead of colouring them, to support comprehension and focus on identifying clues in the story; could use the audio transcript or recording for repeated listening or to hear vocabulary read clearly, supporting any pupils who benefit from slower pacing, additional explanation or hearing support devices connected to a transmitter.

Pupils working at greater depth 

Should circle the words on the Activity: Guru Nanak’s birth that also describe the Christmas story, showing they can make connections between the two stories; could think of their own words to describe Guru Nanak’s birth rather than using those from the Activity: Guru Nanak’s birth; could use the words on the Activity: Guru Nanak’s birth to write short sentences about the story.
