Pupils needing extra support

Year 3: Can be tasked with identifying just one group and purpose for each place. When thinking about a new community building, it might be useful to focus on something in their experience, for example a disused local building or putting something like a shed in school and what this could be used for.

Year 4: May need additional adult support to research their given group and might benefit from looking at a group that relates to their own experience. When thinking about their group they may benefit from focusing on a group in school.

 

Pupils working at greater depth

Year 3: Should identify multiple groups and purposes for some of the places.

Year 4: When thinking about a group, they could think about how they could contribute to starting this group.
