Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support
Could be given a whiteboard with the seasons pre-labelled; could use counters/cubes to represent the daylight hours in each season; could match images from the Resource: Seasonal mornings to season labels, describing the daylight hours in each season, e.g. “In winter, it is still dark because the sun has not risen yet.”
Pupils working at greater depth
Should complete the Activity: Interpreting data; could verbally narrate the Pupil video: Daylight hours referencing time, daylight hours, sunrise, sunset, seasons and activities., e.g. “The sun rises at eight o’clock in the morning, we have our lunch at midday, the sun goes down at four o’clock, it gets dark early because it is winter.”
