Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support

Could use the Activity: Spot the risks during the Attention grabber to help focus their attention by circling the risks and listing at least three risky things that they can spot; could make notes on a whiteboard while watching the videos to remind themselves of the steps that need to be taken for each injury type in order to support their role play.

Pupils working at greater depth

Could use their wider knowledge to explain why each step should be taken, for example: “We should apply pressure to the bleeding wound to slow down the flow of blood because it is dangerous to lose a lot of blood,” or “We should apply a cold compress because it will help to reduce any bruising or swelling.”
