Pupils needing extra support

May find it hard to shade to the edges without leaving any gaps, so encourage them to work more slowly and reassure them they don’t need to rush; may find holding the pencil uncomfortable; should try a wider one or triangular-shaped pencil or use a rubber grip to soften and support their hand (a writing slope might help too); should reduce the size by half on the photocopier so there is a smaller area to work in and allow time to come back to it if needed if the templates are too daunting.

Pupils working at greater depth

Can be encouraged to try  3D shapes; can also try drawing shapes of their own to shade.
