Please be aware this support might be needed for children who normally find learning easy as this might be the first time they have experienced failure.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should be challenged to describe how this trial and error approach could be used in other areas of life. It is important in this lesson that all pupils struggle and fail in order to learn from that experience.
