Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support: Children may need support reading the ingredients – consider providing word banks with pictures. They may also need to rehearse words that describe the appearance, feel, smell and taste before the session.

Pupils working at greater depth: Should be pushed to describe the taste combinations in detail. They should also be pushed to consider what they would exclude or include in response to their tasting.
