Pupils needing extra support:

• Could use chunky crayons or crayons wrapped in masking tape and thicker-handled paintbrushes to support grip and control.
• Could copy the hand position alongside an adult modelling clearly.
• Could use the Presentation: How to make a wax resist painting for visual prompts when using the wax-resist technique.

Pupils working at greater depth:

• Should explain how the lines and patterns they have chosen show different ways water moves, referring to features such as ripples, waves or flowing water.
• Should choose and apply colours purposefully, allowing them to blend or overlap to create different effects.
• Should explain how the wax-resist technique works using appropriate vocabulary, such as resist, pattern and batik.
