Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support

May need to cut around the card tile template, or have an adult do this for them; may need adult support to remember how to score and slip shapes to stick them to the tile.

Pupils working at greater depth

Should be encouraged to be more ambitious with their tile design, perhaps trying out a few options before deciding what looks good; remind them that to change marks we can smooth the clay to ‘rub out’.
