See: Programme of Study for PSHE education (KS1-5).
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support
Could use Activity: Food waste research to focus their research on food waste as this is a potentially less complex issue; some children may benefit from answering the reduced set of questions.
Pupils working at greater depth
Can explore the consequences and impact that some changes, for example reducing food miles, could have on the income of farmers in other countries.
