Differentiation
Learners needing support:
- Could use the Activity: Rabbit template printed onto the card to make a rabbit independently or use it to copy the shapes for the different body parts.
- Could add drawing 2D details on such as eyes rather than making with card.
Learners working at a stretch:
- Could experiment with different ways of folding and curling the card to create more intricate animal shapes and structures (for example, experimenting with adding twists, curves, or folds in different directions).
