Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support
Could display the image with the names of the different types of lines as well as what they look like; could give children only a few lengths of string and encourage them to stand up as they are working as they may find it easier.
Pupils working at greater depth
Can use more lengths of string and coloured pencils to work colour into their small square drawings on white paper; should remind them that they are using lines only and not ‘colouring in’; may also be encouraged to experiment with how they hold the pencil/chalk and try creating lines using the side as well as the tip, or switching between the two as they draw.
