Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support:

Could need verbal prompting to play the correct verse at the appropriate point in the Presentation: The story of snail and mouse.

Pupils working at greater depth:

Could share the singing and playing in the main event, without the support of the class; could accurately lead singing “Ready, steady, off we go,” in the Wrapping up activity.
