Pupils needing extra support:

Weaving on a larger scale can help some children – use A3 card and cut the weft strips to 3 cms. Providing weft strips of thin card rather than sugar paper can help as these as less likely to tear or crinkle. Consider providing partially or fully cut warps to remove the challenge of cutting the strips. Group children so an adult can lead the weaving process initially.

Pupils working at greater depth: 

Could cut their own warp strips into A4 thin card using a ruler and pencil to draw lines first. Should be encouraged to consider the weft strip colours they choose and how these could work together to create patterns. They could cut their own weft strips, perhaps ruling lines first and making the strips the thickness of a ruler. Should be challenged to explain their ideas in more detail when talking about similarities and differences in their work.
