Pupils needing extra support

Could use the Activity: Hand outline template if the children are finding it very difficult to draw around their hand; could work in pairs so one child draws around the other’s hand; could make a finger grip by wrapping a lump of sticky tack around a brush, which can make it easier to hold fine paint brushes for the pattern work. (Finger grips can also remind children where to hold the brush to make controlled brush strokes.)

Pupils working at greater depth

Should keep developing their pattern with precision, working outside of the palm shape to fill the whole paper; could be challenged to use two other primary colours and explore the range of hues more independently.
