Pupils needing extra support

Could be provided with pre-cut shapes to paint or decorate, reducing the complexity of cutting and shaping the card; should use the Resource: How to make impasto as a prompt; could take on simpler roles in the group, like painting large areas or applying glue; could choose from a smaller range of colours to simplify decision-making.

Pupils working at greater depth

Could add extra elements, such as textured details or patterns that mimic real food textures (e.g. cereal or fruit details); could experiment with blending colours; could be assigned group leadership roles like coordinating the final arrangement on the plate.
