Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support:
Year 1: Can have a set of the Activity: Wants or needs? cards to create their picture from.
Year 2: Can design a poster with an image of the item they want and phrases around it to say why they want it so much and why it is worth the time and effort of saving.
Pupils working at greater depth:
Year 1: Can be challenged to add more detail to their picture, for example not just putting food but identifying foods which are needs rather than wants.
Year 2: Can be challenged to use the poster as an opportunity to address the problems that people can have when saving for that long (for example, need money for other things, money could get lost, might change their mind or a newer one might come out)
