Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support:

Year 5: May need support remembering what they learned about in Year 4 and understanding why rules are particularly important in PSHE, especially when thinking about the more grown-up topics that they will be covering.

Year 6: May need help articulating what they felt worked well about their PSHE learning in previous years. Provide them with a list of things they have learned about ready to support them.

 

Pupils working at greater depth:

Year 5: Should be challenged to explain the potential consequences of not following the rules.

Year 6: Should be challenged to give sensible alternative solutions to any areas of PSHE learning that they feel have not been effective.
