Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Could make a poster in a group, supported by TAs, depicting the journey of beef from the farm to our supermarkets. Children can re-watch the video – pausing it at each stage.
Pupils working at greater depth: Might want to make a poster on a different subject relating to the rearing of cattle and the process that brings meat to our shops.
