Pupils needing extra support

Should use the Activity: Sorting life cycles: support version to sort and compare the butterfly and fish life cycles; could stick a copy of the Activity: Sorting life cycles into their book and annotate or circle similarities directly; could use different coloured highlighters to mark the similarities and differences.

Pupils working at greater depth

Could reflect on their knowledge of the different animal groups when comparing life cycles if they have completed the unit Science, Y1/2 (B), Animals, including humans: Comparing animals; should pose new questions about ocean life cycles (considering capital letters and question marks) and explain how their questions have changed from the start of the lesson.
