Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Can be given the Activity:Vaccine information concise version to work from. You may need to read this through for them a couple of times and ask them to highlight key words.
Pupils working at greater depth: Can be challenged to carry out additional research such as what age children have vaccinations – it is recommended that the 'NHS website' is used as this will provide reliable information.
