Pupils needing extra support

Could complete a practical sorting task with only two labelled hoops (e.g. wood and plastic), allowing them to observe and feel a smaller selection of objects before sorting them; could be given the Resource: Knowledge organiser – Everyday materials to refer to when completing task one.

Pupils working at greater depth

Could draw and label one additional object in each group (e.g. a wooden spoon, a toothbrush, a pair of glasses, a pound coin etc.) during task one; could draw and label an additional object in a space outside of the hoops (e.g. water, scarf, paper etc.) during task one; could describe the objects during the practical sorting task (e.g. heavy, smooth, colourful, light, fragile etc.) during task two.
