# Year 3 Arts · clean learner cards, Days 11–20

Choose how to respond: speak, sign, use AAC, point, draw, move, make or direct an adult as the task allows. You can ask for a quiet/private route. Nobody needs to tell us about their home, body, identity or personal experiences. The original [print mat and complete text route](../print/TEXT-ALTERNATIVES.md) are optional. Your teacher will tell you whether a card uses **real observation**, an **invented model** or a **plan only**. Keep that label with your work.

## Day 11 — Dance: near and far path

Dance idea: near → far → still. Make a safe three-action movement phrase in your chosen body mode. Try it, change its size or timing, and tell what changed. A paper path can be a PLAN.

**Choose a route:** Seated or standing safe movement; wheelchair route under plan; hand or eye movement; paper pathway as planning.

**Show:** Share an actual phrase privately if willing and name the changed element.

**Home/low-material:** Use a small safe hand phrase or paper route at home.

## Day 12 — Drama: the missing label

Drama story: invented Ivo and Peri find a returned book with no label. Use paper puppets, sign, AAC, voice or gesture to act two possible next actions. How does the scene change?

**Choose a route:** Two paper puppets; adult voices chosen by learner; AAC script fragments.

**Show:** Show how the changed action altered the fictional problem without casting a pupil as careless.

**Home/low-material:** Use two drawn circles as puppets; no costume or audience.

## Day 13 — Media Arts: frame the object

Media Arts: use a school-approved offline tool to capture only two original paper shapes in a wide and close frame. Which order changes emphasis? If no tool is available, draw a storyboard and label it PLAN.

**Choose a route:** Child directs an adult's approved device; enlarged screen; tactile paper framing before capture.

**Show:** Share the actual two-frame media work privately and explain the order, if technology was used.

**Home/low-material:** Draw two blank frames as an honest paper plan; no family device required.

## Day 14 — Music: a pulse with a pause

Music: the original six-pulse pattern is tap, tap, rest, tap, rest, tap. Make a different six-pulse pattern and change one place. You may tap softly or plan with marks; say which you did.

**Choose a route:** Large pulse boxes; quiet soft tap; tactile pulse card; no forced sound exposure.

**Show:** Play or sing a chosen pattern quietly if willing; point to the changed pulse.

**Home/low-material:** Use pencil marks or a gentle tap; no instrument needed.

## Day 15 — Visual Arts: direct the eye

Visual Arts: a pretend viewer needs to find a paper return tray. Make two original designs with your own shape, line and spacing. Which choice guides attention?

**Choose a route:** Thick pencil or tactile line; large paper; child-directed adult marks.

**Show:** Choose a design and explain which choice served the intended viewer.

**Home/low-material:** Create two paper drafts with pencil or string lines.

## Day 16 — Dance: change the pathway

Dance idea: look → turn → arrive. Create and, if safe, perform a three-action phrase with one direction and one timing change for a chosen private audience. Paper arrows can be a PLAN.

**Choose a route:** Hand, gaze, seated, rolling or standing safe movement under individual plan; private audience.

**Show:** Perform privately to a chosen audience if willing, or record planning only; say what changed.

**Home/low-material:** A gentle small movement phrase works; paper only is a plan.

## Day 17 — Drama: another viewpoint

Drama: invented organiser Meli learns that Ivo and Peri found a missing label. Act a short two-part scene with puppets or another chosen drama mode. Where does the viewpoint change?

**Choose a route:** Puppet enactment; sign/AAC role lines; adult voices only on learner direction.

**Show:** Share the scene privately and identify the moment the viewpoint changes.

**Home/low-material:** Use three circles as puppets; a family member may be audience by choice.

## Day 18 — Media Arts: sequence for meaning

Media Arts: empty shelf → paper card in hand → returned card. Use an approved offline tool to make and privately share a short paper-only frame sequence. Otherwise label a paper storyboard PLAN.

**Choose a route:** Adult operates school tool on direction; enlarged frame; tactile ordered cards before capture.

**Show:** Share the actual media work with a chosen informal audience and ask one neutral question about clarity.

**Home/low-material:** Draw a storyboard if no approved tool; label it planning only.

## Day 19 — Music: answer a quiet call

Music: an original quiet four-pulse call is tap, rest, tap, tap. Make a different four-pulse answer, then change its ending. You may play softly or mark a silent PLAN.

**Choose a route:** Soft tap; adult plays child-selected rhythm; tactile beat tokens; visual count.

**Show:** Play/sing the eight-pulse exchange privately if willing; identify the changed ending.

**Home/low-material:** Mark eight boxes or tap softly by choice.

## Day 20 — Visual Arts: a revised sign

Visual Arts: make your own line-and-shape direction sign for a pretend tray. Ask a chosen viewer what they notice first, revise one feature and explain why. A private share is enough.

**Choose a route:** Tactile string line; bold marker; adult makes directed marks; AAC reason.

**Show:** Share both privately and state what the revision intended to improve.

**Home/low-material:** Draw two signs on scrap and ask a trusted adult a neutral viewing question.
