Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support: May find it easier to print with individual objects rather than creating a printing block. Some children may need suggestions for placing the blocks in a pattern onto the flat Lego base.

 

Pupils working at greater depth: Can be challenged to overlap their prints and describe the results. Should create a pattern or design with their prints.
