Pupils needing extra support

Should be encouraged to cross out all the plastic items on the Activity: The Party Palace; could draw items in their books as an alternative to completing the Activity: Party plan.

Pupils working at greater depth

Should explain how their material choices are better for the environment (e.g. a seed packet helps to grow plants which provide food and shelter for insects); should draw and label their own eco-friendly gifts when completing the Activity: Party plan (e.g. cloth bags, beeswax crayons or recycled keyrings); could be given a different number of children when calculating the cost of items (e.g. there will be 15 children at the party).
