Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support: Some pupils might struggle with identifying the simple shapes, so simpler objects can be located and printed, e.g. a football, tennis or cricket ball.

They might struggle to draw lettering and rely on handwriting rather than constructing block lettering. Extra one-to-one guidance may be needed.

 

Pupils working at greater depth: More advanced pupils might begin shading or colouring their drawings.
