Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support

Could have their paper pre-folded into quarters and the tree lines drawn in pencil for them to draw over in felt tip pen; could choose one paint colour per tree; could refer to the recap on slide 5 of the Presentation: How do trees change? for reminders.

Pupils working at greater depth

Should write a sentence underneath each seasonal tree to describe the tree’s appearance (e.g. in summer, it has bushy, green leaves and fruit); should write a sentence about the typical weather in each season and how it helps with some of the changes seen in trees, plants and flowers (e.g. in spring, warm weather and rain help flowers to grow).
