The activity is aimed at key stage 3 children (but can be adapted for other key stages). The images in this section can prompt a discussion about why powerful people are careful about how they are represented. The activity will also familiarise children with the idea of a definitive stamp. This will be useful if you decide to continue onto the Art & Design activity later in the pack.
