Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Some children may need assistance in forming the wire. If they find it difficult to see the muscular shape of the limbs, ask them to concentrate on the elbow and knee joints only.
Pupils working at greater depth: Put some more thought into the pose and proportions of the figure. Having images of superheroes as a reference will help.
*Take care with the ends of wire/pipe cleaners. These can be sharp and need careful handling. Children should not be cutting lengths of wire themselves.
