Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing extra support

Could refer to the Pupil video: Tube towers so they have a clear model for how to make paper tubes while they work; could use a cylindrical object, like a glue stick to roll paper around; could stand their tubes directly in a thick layer of PVA glue to attach them to the base.

Pupils working at greater depth

Should be encouraged to try out different combinations for their sculpture layout and try making tubes shorter by cutting them; should be encouraged to be experimental with their finished piece, for example by attaching some tubes to each other and not the base; could cut shapes out of the paper to change the tubes.
