Adapative teaching
Pupils needing extra support
Should ensure they have suitable scissors and follow the advice for cutting out (cut roughly around a shape to separate it from the page, then cut more precisely, taking breaks when needed); could consider enlarging the Activity: Collage images to assist cutting out; may need to be reminded to colour with the wax crayons in several directions to cover the card fully.
Pupils working at greater depth
Should be able to cut images to a range of sizes with confidence; could be challenged to create a composition that contains strong contrast between sizes and shapes of images and the way they are positioned; should be able to describe their decisions over the placement of elements in their compositions.
