Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support
Could verbally discuss their chosen rock pool living thing rather than adding a written label; could use the Resource: Rock pool living things (support) to cut out an example and add a label to avoid drawing.
Pupils working at greater depth
Should describe how the population of one organism would be affected if a species was removed from the rock pool (for example, how would the numbers of crabs be affected if all the fish were removed from the rock pools?); could add labels reflecting knowledge of body parts if they have covered the unit Science, Year 1/2 (B), Animals, including humans: Comparing animals.
