Pupils needing extra support:

• Could use the Resource: Word bank to recall and use correct vocabulary about periods by referring to definitions during discussion and the game activity.
• Could play the Activity: What do you know about periods? without the ‘Oops’ strips to focus on understanding key facts by simplifying the game rules.
• Could listen to explanations of period products and ask questions verbally to build understanding by discussing ideas instead of reading or writing extended responses.

Pupils working at greater depth:

• Should explain why periods happen using simple scientific vocabulary from the lesson (for example, uterus, blood, monthly cycle).
• Should explain how to reassure or support someone who has just started their period, using examples from the lesson.
• Should confidently challenge misunderstandings or unkind attitudes about periods by giving clear, factual explanations.
• Could write notes on a whiteboard during the Pupil video: What is a period? to write their own accurate questions and answers for the blank strips on the Activity: What do I know about periods?
