This week we would like children to focus on 'Long Ladder' letters. We will start with the final four 'Long Ladder' letters. The group of letters are in the picture below and you can watch a video that models how to form each letter.
Here are some activities we would like children to complete to practice their handwriting:-
Children can complete a little bit of handwriting each day or three longer sessions during the week. Year 2 children have been practicing their letters using a lead in but this will be new to Year 1 children as they were due to start this at the beginning of this term.
Please remind children when writing they need to be forming their letters in this way and not just in stand alone handwriting lessons. Thank you.
There are more handwriting activities on following our handwriting programme - 'Letterjoin'. Please visit our letterjoin page on our website with more information about log in details.
Please try to read daily with your children whilst at home. This could be reading one of their own books, a magazine, an oxford owl e-book or any posters, recipes, food packaging, etc around the house. This is to be recorded in their school reading record book.
The log in details for Oxford Owl are:-
