Pupils needing extra support

Could describe similarities and differences verbally as opposed to using sticky notes during the animal group poster task (see Main event); could write labels as opposed to sentences in task one.

Pupils working at greater depth

Should draw on prior knowledge when writing about animal differences in task one (e.g. the turtle has flippers that it uses to swim in the sea, the snake sheds its skin or the crocodile is a carnivore and uses its sharp teeth to crush and break up large prey); could include additional characteristics when writing about similarities in the animal group poster task (e.g. they are amphibians, they lay eggs or they live on land and water).
