Pupils needing extra support

Could cut, stick and label the birds and verbally describe their differences in the independent task; could choose only two birds to stick in their books and write one sentence to describe how they are different; could look through ‘The Oak Tree’ storybook before the lesson to identify and name the featured animals.

Pupils working at greater depth

Could write additional sentences to describe the features that all birds share in the independent task; should be given a device and work with a partner to carry out the online research independently; could use sub-headings to list mammals and birds in the Attention grabber.
