Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support:

Could use a print-out of the Presentation: Advent candles to remind them of the different candles used on an Advent wreath.

Pupils working at greater depth:

Should write a caption on a piece of paper for each candle placed on the wreath, providing key information about what the candle represents; could write and prepare a card conveying a well-wishing sentiment.
