Differentiation

Pupils needing extra support: This is a very inclusive activity although some pupils may need support in applying the paint/ink to the paper. There are no mistakes, and if the children don’t like the finished print, they  can make another one.

 

Pupils working at greater depth: Should be challenged to be adventurous with applying the paint/ink in different ways. Can use their imagination to describe clearly what the images could be.
