Learners needing support: Will need support reading and interpreting the map and answering the questions. Complete a few letters or words within the crossword and photocopy them for those children requiring additional help. You may want to consider demonstrating the fork-secure cutting method for pupils requiring additional help, so they can keep the fruit still while using a butter knife between the fork’s prongs.
Learners working at a stretch: Will need to consider quantities and costs when comparing recipes. These children could be extended to look at when the ingredients needed for their skewers would need to be planted. Encourage accurate slicing of the fruit for all pieces to be of a similar size.
