Differentiation

Remember that in Music, some pupils you would expect to need support may not and those you would class as greater depth might struggle.

Pupils needing extra support: Remember to encourage them to use the actions – this will help them remember the words. Use the picture prompts if necessary.

 

Pupils working at greater depth: Pupils can have a go at singing solo or in a small group. Encourage them to think about the music and ensure they have correct diction.
