Pupils needing extra support: Could draw around simple geometric shapes such as circular or oval building blocks. Alternatively, you could print some circles or ovals for them to adapt to create their animal.

 

Pupils working at greater depth: Should combine more than one animal into a scene or work with other pupils to develop a more elaborate composition and work with a greater level of control and detail.
