Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support: Might need help mixing colours and extra support finding successful solutions. Some children may not enjoy handling the natural materials to make paint so could work with a partner in the role of ‘collector and evaluator’ instead.

 

Pupils working at greater depth: Challenge them to make more advanced colours by manipulating the natural products to suit their own intentions and by applying their knowledge of colour mixing.
