Pupils needing extra support

Could use a card template to cut a tile shape; could use a smaller ball of clay to roll out their tile to make it more manageable; could be directed to a limited range of items to press into the clay that will make clear patterns.

Pupils working at greater depth

Should evaluate their drawn design as they work in the clay, challenging the choices they made if they do not work well in clay and finding solutions to problems; should use the score and slip joining technique confidently.
