Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support: 

Year 1: A poster template with key words could be given to the children and then they can illustrate the point, for example, to hold hands with a grown-up or stay on the pavement.

Year 2: Could be supported during their role play to remember the key messages.

 

Pupils working at greater depth:

Year 1: Ask children to think about a different scenario, such as walking down the street in the dark. What might their safety message be then?

Year 2: Can be challenged to find out more about the safer crossing places and how they are used.
