Adaptive teaching

Adults could give support by:

  • Introducing one circus skill at a time and modelling it slowly.
  • Allowing children to complete each activity sitting, standing or using their preferred way of moving.
  • Offering equipment that is easier to use, such as larger lightweight scarves, large lightweight hoops or a wide line of floor tape instead of a rope.
  • Providing the Resource: Calming ideas posters to try if they become frustrated.
  • Using the Resource: Picture prompts from Lesson 2 to remind the children what they can do if they find something tricky.

Key vocabulary

  • perseverance
