Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support
Could complete a practical sorting task with only two labelled hoops (for example, wood and plastic), allowing them to observe and feel a smaller selection of objects before sorting them; could be given the Knowledge organiser to refer to when completing the independent task.
Pupils working at greater depth
Could draw and label one additional object in each group during task one (e.g. a wooden spoon, a toothbrush, a pair of glasses, a pound coin etc.); could draw and label an additional object in a space outside of the hoops during task one (e.g. water, scarf, paper etc.); could describe the objects during the practical sorting task during task two (e.g. heavy, smooth, colourful, light, fragile etc.).
