Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Might need to look at the Activity: Child’s bedroom image to help discuss what they might find in their rooms at home, as well as how these things can help them get a good night’s sleep.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should articulate the effects of getting a good night’s sleep vs a bad night’s sleep and relate that to their own experiences, eg: feeling moody, low on energy, unable to concentrate vs happy, full of energy, alert.
