Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support

May need to use the card templates to cut a tile shape; may need support to choose tools and objects to make the house features; may need reminding about joining techniques.

Pupils working at greater depth

Could be encouraged to evaluate their drawn design as they work in the clay, challenging the choices they made if they don’t work well in clay and finding solutions to problems if they arise; should remember the clay joining technique and be able to support peers in using it.
