Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Can be grouped together and should focus on Bella and Alice’s scenarios, which are more straightforward. These scenarios might be most appropriate for the Year 5 children as well but this will depend on their emotional maturity.
Pupils working at greater depth: Can be challenged to think of different ways in which the characters may respond in the different scenarios.
