Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Give additional support with the scenarios activity if required and ask the children to act them out to help them decide what the characters should do. Scenarios 1 and 2 might be easier for the children to consider as they are more likely to be in their direct experience.
Pupils working at greater depth: Having looked at one or two of the given scenarios, children could develop their own sun safety scenario to share with the rest of the class. They could also write these scenarios including questions and swap them with another group for them to solve.
