Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support

Should use the grid template with fewer, larger squares; may need to be reminded of how to hold paintbrushes to achieve control.

Pupils working at greater depth

Should aim to only change the original colour a bit at a time to achieve a gradual difference between the colour of squares; should be able to fill each square quite neatly so colours do not bleed into one another.
