Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: May need to be asked more prompting questions throughout and be given plenty of examples. Could alternatively draw, inside each bubble, a picture of themselves doing something to achieve a happiness goal. These ideas could then be shared verbally during wrap-up. You may wish to use Activity: Project happiness – reduced writing version.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should write three or more actions to help achieve each happiness goal. Encourage them to think of a variety of goals, for example something at home, at school, trying something new, something connected to how they relate to other people.
